MES 40 grease spout question?

[corndog]

For those who own an MES 40, should the grease spout, on the back of the smoker, be sloped up? The one on my smoker is...seems odd to me. Seems like it should be level or even sloped down a bit.

No it should not point up. I looked at mine and it seems pretty level but the whole unit tilts to the rear slightly so grease runs out into the catch tray...JJ

Thanks for the info.
