Turn it all on and take a look at the heating element in the tower and see if it begins to glow red after a couple of minutes.  If it doesn't, unplug and replug all of your connections, especially the power jumper cable between the smoke generator and the tower.  Sometimes they work their way out and have to be plugged in very firmly.  If that doesn't help you may have a defective heating element.

Just smoke them for a couple of hours using the heat from the generator then finish them on the grill or oven. You will be fine
