We're all set to go, MES is at the correct temperature, but my darned pellets won't light?? What do I do?

Did you try nuking them for a minute? Are you using an AMNPS tray?

Are you using a torch to light them? My friend kept complaining about how he could never get his pellets to light. He was using a BIC lighter. Once he started using the Bernzomatic no problems.

All that stuff they said and let them burn like 10 minutes before you put them in the smoker... is another tip some say.

Are you putting pellets in the chip tray? If so you'r probably not running the MES hot enough to ignight them.
