For some time, I had an added flex duct to move the heat/smoke to the center of the MES 30, to try and overcome the hot spots.... Heat created by the AMNPS during cold smoking...
Well, it finally crumbled from salts and stuff that dripped on it when the "water pan" was not installed... I use the water pan for additional heat deflection to get a uniform heat flow through the smoker... Also the chip pan for heat distribution is left in... I'm back to ~10º difference throughout the smoker...
I drilled a hole in the flex elbow that protrudes to the inside of the smoker.. drilled a hole through the family size soup can....
placed a chunk of wire through the two holes and there it hangs..
