Hi All! Happy to be part of the forum!
Just bought the Masterbuilt MES30C electric smoker. I put it together and everything went well for the most part. However, I noticed that when the wood chip tray is fully set onto the grate, the bottom of the tray is in contact with the heating element. Everything appears to be installed correctly, and the heating element is properly resting on the element support.
With my online research, I'm seeing both opinions: The heating element is supposed to be in contact with the tray to assist with burning the wood chips, but also that the heating element should NOT be touching the tray. Who's right???
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
