Are those Burnt ends only on the right ends of the ones in the bottom rack??
If so, that's why I never use the bottom rack for anything but my AMNPS. Too much Direct heat from the Element.
If you need to use the bottom rack for that many Sticks, try to keep them from overhanging the Water pan below. The water pan blocks the direct heat from the heating element, which is the only good reason for leaving the water pan in an MES Unit.

Ditto on bottom rack. Also rotating and switching around the racks evens out the temps between levels and left to right.
Every layer of meat above the element is sucking heat out of the rising air column, so there is a little less available for the rack above it. Just swap/rotate the trays every hour or so midway through the smoke (you can eyeball the sticks and get an idea of when to swap them around).Dave
I love coming home. My back porch smells just like a BBQ joint.....

In a brown paper bag on the table overnight. Then in the paper bag in the fridge for a day or two. This lets the moisture equalize throughout the sticks. Then into a plastic container with holes in the lid with a paper towel under the lid, still in the fridge. You want them to be able to breath, but not too much. Any surplus is vac packed and frozen for later use.Dave
