OK
I'm a newbie with the MES(w window) from Sams.
This is third time to use unit. Did some chicken legs/thighs and some meatballs. All turned out great.
BUT when I put wood chips in ( 1 cup at a time) each hour.
The chips would start to smoke, then smoker would fill up with smoke,
THEN there would be a PUFF -blowout the wood chip adder, bottom of door. Seems like maybe gases produced from chips ignited.
This would happen 2-3 times per load of wood chips.
Is this common? Am I doing something wrong?
Is there danger if I were to open door?
Thanks
