Totally agree way too much concern with some leakage. Its no big deal and I don't care. I have a Chargriller smokin champ and I get good flow through. I leave the fire box vent and the smoke stack wide open. Still get plenty of heat for my smoking purposes, and excellent results. I think folks ...unless you are doing competition...are waaaay to obsessed with every little detail and over think smoking. Not that complicated ! Weather can effect this, for instance trying to keep temp up when it's in the 30's or lower can be a challenge. Those are good days to leave the cover on the cooker and whip up a great pot of chili inside. Happy cooking !

Doesn’t the fat rendering unto the tuning plate or baffle plate on a reverse flow add to the smoke flavor? Not the same as hickory or oak but a different smoke flavor profile non the less… personalIy I miss the old school pit bbq days.

I purchased the largest version, the 65 Ampere one. When I started it, the machine doesn't run. Once the adjustments have been made, I bring the torch close to the piece and it works intermittently, turning on and off. I checked and changed the nozzles, but nothing helped. Since the parent company isn't responding, I wanted to ask you if you can help me understand whether it's the machine that's having problems or whether I'm making some settings wrong. I'm sending you the same video that I sent to the parent company so that maybe you can understand something about it and give me a hand.

I have a Char-Griller 2828 Smokin' Pro I got as a wedding gift ten years ago. I initially struggled with getting it up to temp until one day I got distracted and accidentally left the stack damper wide-open. That proved to be a "Eureka!" moment. It came up to temp easily and stayed there. I eventually had to back it off. Also, I highly recommend trying the "Flying V" grate method (see link below). I set it up in mine using a couple of extra grill grates that came with my side firebox and was shocked at the difference in performance. It held a steady temp between 250° - 275° for close to 3 hours, using just the initial chimney of coals, no other fuel added, other than hickory chunks for smoke. My wood chunks lasted longer, too; only had to burn about 1 or 2 an hour to keep the smoke rolling. It did a lot to mitigate ash build-up, too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHWcgYSNl9SFh80si=2h20lIfLS2oVg6eO

@pinocolada4254 21 күн бұрын
I've built 5 square firebox offsets and 1 reverse. Check the dimensions and volumes of your smoker via the online Feldon bbq pit calculator. If any of the dimensions or volumes is off (to small) draft is an issue. *Firebox volume (+-30% of cooker) Chimney volume (5% of firebox) * Air inlet size(s) * Firebox to cooker hole size. Take a taoe measure, add your measurements to the online tool and it tell you what you need so you know if its allrigth or off. Have it fixed, fix it or contact supplier. What i always do just to make sure, 10-20% extra firebox volume, you lose volume because of the fire rack. Sligthly extra air inlet volume as you can easily close of the extra. Built my chimney sligthly to high, i can cut off exes if draft is off. Welding on an extra piece is a no go to buyers and myself. Also remember, a high and narrow chimney cools down to fast and destroys your draft. You'd prefer a stubby, shorter chimney with the correct volume.
