1. Make sure the rear drip hole is open, and that the drip pan at the bottom doesn't have that hole foiled over (if you cover the tray in foil). It provides additional air.
2. Pull the chip tray out slightly (as Braz showed).
3. Make sure you don't let anything drip on the AMNPS. Use foil on the rack(s) above to give it a "tent" that stops any drips.
4. If you have a heat gun, use it to light the chips because it can get a bigger hunk of chips going, and it preheats the other chips. Here's a video I did a few years ago, showing how I do it:
Using Heat Gun to Light A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker
I did make one error in that video, which I corrected by adding a text overlay: do NOT pull the bottom drip pan forward because otherwise you don't get the air from that hole in the back.
