Analog,  or one of the electronic ones?

Help will be along.

You may want to ask one of the Moderators to move this to the "Electric Smoker" forum. section.

Or, if you know how to - Delete this thread and re post in that section     Marc

Pamela - What I am mostly asking is - Is your chip tray inside the cabinet, OR a pullout one accessed from the OUTSIDE of the cabinet.  Marc

Edit -   Well, I misspoke - either way your chip tray is inside, but do you have a side loading pullout thing on the right side, or do you have to open the door to put chips in the tray ?   Marc

To get the best results with a MES you really need to invest in a Amazen tray.

It will give you 8-10 hours of continuous smoke without reloading it.
