Hello everyone,
I am brand new to the forums and brand new to smoking in general.
I have a MES 30 and today was my first day using it. I unboxed and "pre-seasoned" it using the following steps:
1-Run smoker for about 2h 15m (no liquid in pan, no smoke)
2-Add my AMNPS with about 3/4 of a full row of hickory pellets (after I lit it and let it burn for 10m per instructions)
I have been doing a lot of reading up and utilizing these forums quite a bit. I am attaching some pictures of the pre-seasoning process - is this the type of smoke I am looking for? (I know it's hard to photograph smoke sometimes, so I hope I have a good enough picture). It seems more of thinner white smoke - is this alright? If not, what can I do differently.
Planning to do a brisket in a couple of days to christen the smoker! Any/all help is appreciated. Thank you!
