Yup---I like no bigger than a 9 X 11 pan in my MES 40.
Years ago I crowded 2 of them on the same rack, and it screwed up the whole deal---Hot below that rack & cooler above, until I switched things.
Another thing ALL MES users should know about positioning the smoker.
I think I have a Thread about this somewhere:
If you have a window in your door, and have the front facing South, or nearly South, you have to cover the window if it's Sunny, in the Winter, Fall, or Spring.
When the Sun is low in the sky, it can shine through the door glass & heat up the Heat Sensor on the back wall of the smoker. That can make the Heating Element shut off, because it will think the Smoker is hotter than it really is.
I keep a piece of 1/2" plywood handy for those days---I had to lean it on to cover the glass about 6 or 7 times now.
