I never had a lot of luck with the amazn in my mes, but todd's tube smoker does real well.
open the chip tray a couple inches for air flow, and place it to the left of the burner box. be sure to bake or microwave the chips to dry them out ...
my two centssigpic

in my MES 40 I was just able to have the chip loader removed and the tray in the bottom left on the floor of the unit. I left the oval drip pan in place to keep any drippage from hitting the pellets. Make sure you have the tray burning well though. I've also used an Amazen tube and it seems to burn better, but some say too much smoke.Kent [sigpicThermapen Smoke

Good luck on your project, Bling.
I hang mine just because that works for my set up. I can hang 24", so try to get them as long as I can and just deal with the sorter ones.
Then, like others have stated, when finished, I chop them to length. The stack of "nubb'ins" make a lot of friends!
Here's some shots of my set up.
Hanging in the shed to bloom.
Good luck! They will be great.

Pellets go to the opposite side of the top vent, at least that's how I do my bacon, otherwise it will go straight up and outMasterbuilt Stainless Steel 40"

I went 120 for a hour no smoke, 1401 hour with smoke, 160 2hrs with smoke, 180 to finish with a little smoke and took about 9hrs total. I didn't pinch or twist the ends off so I figure that's why they burnt on ends?

In the MES 40 Gen #2.5, I put the bottom rack in & set my AMNPS on the right end, just above the Chip Dumper. Then I pull the Dumper out about 3" to give more air flow, and push it in for less air flow.
I leave the Chip Drawer alone.
