Is there a better way

[buckinducks]

What is the BEST way to get , as close to “set and forget”, consistent smoke in an electric box smoker . I have had an amzn pellet tray for years and it is hit and miss. sometimes requires way to much screwing around.
This is mostly for smokes lower than 225 , cured fish, jerky,meat sticks etc ..
(The amzn tray is the only method Ive used , have tried all known methods to improve it . Sometimes still goes out)

(I have a Traeger for all other Smokey cooks)

Difficult to answer without first knowing what more about your 'lectric smoker. Make,model etc. I'm assuming you have a MES, but you know what they say about assumptions...

If it’s an MES buy the cold smoke attachment. It autofeeds chips. Can be used worth the main units heat element in or off.

Yes it’s an mes old style non digital.

the mes cold smoker looks interesting . Any other similar products ?

Do a search here on the forum for mailbox mod. They work great. I could never keep my AMNPS lit when it was inside my MES 30. The mailbox cured that problem.
