Reply to "Bending Amerique Heating Element for smoke"

Not to be contrary, but, how come we all seem to think that the heating element needs to be bent so as to be closer to the wood box?

I have two 055's. I've never touched the heating element on either one. I don't always SEE smoke coming out the top, but I SMELL it once it gets going, and notice plenty of blue wispy stuff coming out. If I ever wonder, I stick my nose near the top hole and, yep, it's smokin alright.

AND, by the way, I think the units smoke just perfectly. Sometimes the wood chunks are just black, and I leave them in for the next smoke along with new wood. Sometimes they are down to ash. Why do I care? My units produce GREAT Q...seem to do exactly as intended.

They ain't broke...don't fix 'em.
