Made up some venison snack sticks and have them in my gen 1 MES for its maiden voyage. I have to say all the info on here really helped. I made a few mistakes like not warming the smoker up good before starting and may have cooked the bottom rack a little at first but I now know to heat it up good before loading.
As far as the AMNPS goes. Well, I lit it with a torch then blew on it with the heat gun and got it going really good. Its setting left of the chip box with the box pulled out a tad but surprisingly, it's smoking like a champ without the loader pulled out at all. Hasn't missed a beat and is putting out beautiful TBS.
Still have some time to go. I'm just now ramping the heat up to 180 and IT is around 145. I'll let you know how they turn out. Hopefully, edible. Lol!
