    30" MES smoker is not smoking, 20070910.

    I just got the thing from amazon, when I did the burn in last night, it smoked like crazy. Now that I have meat in the unit, and a handfull of 30min soaked mesq chips, The thing will only darken the chips, and not smoke them. Should I send the unit back to amazon and demand another unit? Thanks.
