I use very little wood. I buy one of those bags of chunks, cut them into smaller pieces. maybe small egg size. I will use chips if doing a lower temp cook or if doing short cook.  I have put a few pieces to much wood in shortly after buying it and learned not to over do it.

Ive smoked lots of sausage using a smoking Tex (same thing as a cook shack) and a Bradley smoker, but my favorite electric now is the MES 40. I use it specifically to finish my smokes after wrapping and for smoking sausage. I use a pellet maze for generating the smoke when doing sausage.

Is the glass hard to keep clean and how big are the racks on your MES 40?

19 3/4 inches by 12 inches. If you clean the glass immediately after use it cleans pretty easy, which I do.

Curious as to why foil is covering the pans. Do you not want the smoke to migrate into the food??

Thanks.  I have to go to Home Depot today so I'll go look at them.  Looks like you could get a little brisket in there.

This smoker is used for sausage and finishing my other smokes. The four butts in the smoker were smoked in my GMG Daniel Boone for probably 6 or 7 hours until a nice bark is formed then foiled and finished in the MES. I cant see wasting pellets after I have foiled if I have another means of finishing the cook. In the winter I may use the oven in the house.

 That makes sense. Thanks.
