Hey Buggs,

Yes, that is the way you fill these OEM smokers by putting it in the outlets. The original smoke bottle had a long "straw" on them to inject more fluid.

Just don't put too much in or you flood the smoker and with those sealed units there is no way to really drain them. Just put a little in and measure how long it takes to almost stop smoking. And then adjust your levels...
