So this may be a dumb question but this is the first time i am using my new AMNPS for a hot smoke. When i cold smoked cheese last week i had a good amount of smoke in my MES 30 for the 4 hours that it was smoking. Before I had the AMNPS and i was using wood chips i also had quite a bit of smoke in the unit. Today I fired up the smoker to 275 for a turkey breast, got my AMNPS lit per the instructions, blow torched the unit for 1 minute and let fire burn for ten minutes, I also blew on it to get the fire back up a few times. After about 15 minutes I deemed it hot enough to go in the smoker. I have my chip tray out 1-1/2 inches and have been playing with how far out the chip loader is. Now my issue is I can smell smoke and see a little smoke coming out the exhaust, however there is no visible smoke in my smoker. I can see through the window clear as day. Ive opened the unit a few times to check on it and it still seems to be burning. So i'm not sure if this is just me being a newbie and not knowing or if i actually have a problem. Thanks for any input.
