Hi all. Newbie poster, been lurking a while. Did a search (newbie here, not the innerwebs) and found nothing.
However...
Got my 30" MES today, and immediately began the Seasoning Process. Wood chips just went in about 20 minutes ago.
After the initial muffler paint burning off smell subsided, I realized this was going to be fun. Wood chips are smoking away, but there is a decent amount of smoke coming from around the door periphery. Should this be happening? Is this a gasket issue, a door tension issue, or a dork with a new toy not knowing how it works issue? I know it's a smoke issue, cuz I gots it.
Thanks. Looking forward to making a lot of mistakes and eating them.
