Fedex didn't deliver until 8:45pm!! its pouring rain for the next few days and since I don't have any covered area I have to wait it's gonna kill me. Also, Steve said he was going to send me the chip tray insert but he didn't

Steve may have simply forgotten. I'm sure he will take care of you.

 

[Thesneakyzebra]

I sure hope so man I cannot wait to use this thing.

Congrats, Zebra!  May be a dumb question, but did you look to see if it was already in the smoke box?  I know, but sometimes I overlook the obvious. 

 

[Thesneakyzebra]

lol. With all the excitement that is more than plausible. but it was no where to be found. no biggie, I emailed Steve.

 

[DivotMaker]

Sounded like something I would have done in the heat of the excitement, that's why I asked! ???

Enjoy!


I too was adamant about getting a chip tray... Mostly because I was picking up the unit and wanted to get everything at that time to avoid any S&H.


I find it may not be needed because these thing consume wood chunks very nicely. 


One smoke ran into unique issue... Left chip tray in and then put in a dowel that came with the unit set it at 225.... And the dowel never smoke...after five hours was barely black.  Wondering if anyone else came across this....

I left the chip tray in figuring it wouldn't hurt while using chunks a couple of times & the chunks don't burn as completely.  I get alot of coal left when doing this.  It works great for chips & slivers but shouldn't be left in for regular cooks.

Yeah... It was just a one time thing and now based on your comments I'm convinced....

Thanks.

I would think that's one reason it works so well with chips...limits the heat transfer.

I had the same question about the chip insert too.  See my thread on the subject:

I think this kind of answers my questions.

Tony ... NDK.... Yup... Exactly.

I will use the chip tray when smoking shrimp or something where you need lots of smoke for a very short time
