Hello all,

I'm kind of new to smoking. I have a MES 40 and a Big Chief smoker. I live in NJ. I am wondering if I should get the tray or the tube for wood pellets, for use in my MES 40. I'm figuring it has to be placed on element, but I am concerned drippings will be an issue, particularly with the tray. Any suggestions?

  Good afternoon and welcome to the forum, from a windy, warm and nice day here in East Texas, and the best site on the web. Lots of great people with tons of information on just about  everything.

For an MES 40 in NJ, you definitely want the 5 X 8 AMNPS (tray).

As to where it's best to put it ------That depends on which Generation MES 40 you have.
