Yes, Sorry forgot to mention it is a MES model 20070411 30 inch smoker. I have always had trouble with this kind of pellet tray, at low temps won't smoke or pellets not getting hot enough,Looks like a MES part # to me. Lotsa folks just throw the after market smoke tube inside the unit and pull the chip tube out a little for airflow, but I'm assuming that's what you're talking about.
Yes, sorry should have put that in there.Do you mean modify your pellet smoker? Brand not mentioned, what is the model, MES maybe?
And where are you located Bundy as altatude may be an issue
