To my way of thinking, pellets are cheap enough that I played with them a lot at first.
And now, I still don’t mind burning up excess.
I’d encourage you to go ahead and burn some up just to play around, see how things work, And you could even use Hot Dogs as “sacrificial Lambs” to see how things taste.
I do that sometimes just to experiment to get a baseline to begin with.

LOL. Everything is better with smoke on it. I have two MB smokers. Have had issues with chips catching fire thus raising the internal temperature and way to much smoke. Thought this would help moving the smoke source away from the burner(using LP). Thanks for the suggestions. -

PapaSop I added the cold smoker attachment to my MB40…I stopped using the regular chip tray the same day I installed it and I’ve yet to go back.

Might have to check into that attachment. Thanks. -
The verdict is in! The chip tray has been sentenced to life on the shelf collecting dust. This is a great product. Nice even continuous smoke for just shy of 5 hours. That rack of ribs liked it too. Highly recommend this for anyone who is tired of messing around with wood chips.!

PapaSop nice update! The pictures tell 1000 words! Now, to go thaw a rack of ribs out and copy this weekend!

Yep, Papa.
I removed all the chip feeder stuff from both of my MES’s.
If you ever think you might want to cold smoke things (Bacon, Salmon, Nuts, Spices, Salt…), you might be interested in a Mailbox Mod. I use one exclusively now for all my smoking. Hot or cold.
It gives me control over both the smoke, and the temperature. (I do my cold smoking at ~68-78° F )Happy Smoking Papa!

Just looked at that link. Looks like that benefits the electric models with side chip tray. I’m currently using an LP version. MB pro temp xl. Hmmm. -

I saw that. Kinda takes even more modifications to get colder temps from a Propane unit. And from what I’ve seen, there is no readily available hole in yours like the electrics have.
So the easy way, as you know, is the tube or tray type Amazen. Modifying depends a lot on how much tinkering you are willing to fiddle with. I’m the tinker behind the tinkers damn. So I tinker a lot.
:face_with_stuck-out_tongue:
So I wish now that I would have gotten the most basic, insulated, non-digital smoker box and modified it to what I have now.
So it comes down to what a feller wants in his smoker box.
Many enjoy very minimal tinkering, I can get that. But for me, I just had to separate the “as built” smoke maker, from the smoker/oven heat source. That gave me control over the two aspects of smoking.
Since I do some (a lot) of cold smoking, I had to go to extremes. But, that’s me. Mr. Imagination.
There are lots of in betweens. And not a thing wrong with a simple Pellet Tube laid in the lowers to generate the smoke that flavors what you’d like to smoke.
After all, this is supposed to be fun, as well as tasty. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: -

Thanks for the input. I too tend to tinker a little and have added an extra rack holder on the inside and a shelf on the outside of the unit to hold external temp. gauges. Have never done any cold smoking yet but with all the info from this community will give that a go someday. Thanks again for your thoughts.
