Smoker produces very little or no smoke even though it heats normally.

Safety first: Use only manufacturer-approved wood chips and follow all instructions. Avoid overfilling the tray.

• Check chip tray position: Ensure the Ninja wood chip tray is fully seated in its slot and properly aligned over the heating area.
• Use dry chips: Use dry, seasoned wood chips. Excessively wet chips may steam instead of smoke.
• Preheat properly: Allow the smoker to preheat to the recommended smoking temperature before adding chips.
• Chip quantity: Do not overfill the tray; a thin, even layer smokes more effectively.
• Verify temperature: Confirm the smoker is reaching the set temperature; if not, address heating issues first.
