Question, I have a piston type smoker in my heng Long panther Model 3879-1 I took the smoker apart because I watched a video that showed what happens when you have too much fluid in the heater box. Now to my problem smoke is coming out around the piston and barely out the exhaust, don't see any wear or torn seal can you give me a hint as to what's happening and a possible fix.

[@trooperwolfie]

Is the rubber seal on the piston lubricated? They tend to have a bit of grease on them. The other cause could be that the exhaust passage is blocked by something. Without actually looking at it I can't give you a definitive answer I'm afraid. If you cleaned the chamber/piston out, then add a bit of grease to the seal. Double check smoke fluid hasn't made its way down the exhaust pipes, blocking it.

[@georgedistel1203]

@@trooperwolfie I disassembled the whole thing inspected the bore for the piston, lubricated the rubber piston with plumbers grease reassembled it and ran it but it still bypasses the piston and puts more smoke inside the tank than out the exhaust. I checked both ports on the heater box both were open blew at thru the tube and exhaust stacks all were open also. One thing I can say is the gasket material they use on the heater unit is about as sub par as anything I have ever seen.

[@trooperwolfie]

@@georgedistel1203 yeah, the gaskets are crap, try some electrical tape around the lid/housing to seal the smoke in. Just make sure there's no smoke fluid on the outside of the housing.

what smoke oil do you use? I used e-cig oil and no smoke comes out Thanks.

[@trooperwolfie]

I use Mega Steam (odourless) which I bought from Forgebear tanks in the UK, they do scented versions as well to represent the smell of different types of fuel or smoke. I have used nicotine free vape oil as well and it worked, but it stank of peppermint lol. I also tried baby oil, it kind of works for a bit then buggers the heating element up. Mega steam is definitely the best, and is made specifically for this purpose. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

where did you get the piece to put in speaker and what diameter is the piece and tubing.also have you wired this to a tamiya mfc.i dont know what kind of board you are using.if you used mfc where do the connecting wires go to on the mfc

[@trooperwolfie]

Hi, it's a Clark TK 40 board I'm using, I made the speaker box myself from 1.5mm styrene sheet. The tubing I'm using is from a peg feed giving set from work but silicone tube from an aquatics pet store will work well. The holes In the side of the speaker box/smoker box are 4mm diameter.

[@darrenclegg3416]

So the pressure inside the box actually pushes out through that tiny 4mm hole, I'm going to try this on my hl tiger 2 tank. The aftermarket blower set is ridiculous with the constant smoke pouring out, like the engines about to blow up 😂 What speaker are you using ? I'm thinking of using visation rfs-7 4ohm speaker for good sound as the visation fr8 8ohm I have now is a large unit at 8cm in diameter

[@BloxyDood]

hey mr man, what is that speaker?

[@trooperwolfie]

Hi, it was a visaton speaker, I can't remember what model exactly. I'll try dig it out and get back to you on that. It's encased in a styrene box I made myself.

[@trooperwolfie]

Ahaaa, I found it. It's a Visaton FRS 7 4 ohm speaker, I hope that helps, thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

I bought a 580 second hand smoker dead how can I repair it or get new 1

[@ashleytonelli4202000]

It still pumps air but the burner is done

[@trooperwolfie]

@@ashleytonelli4202000 sorry, I've just seen your comment, you could use some wire from an old hair dryer to make a new element.

[@bittasweetsymphony726]

i don't get all youse people that fit a fan instead of the piston smoker, ive been using the cheap piston smoker and i love it, it pulses perfectly, it sounds cool aswell, i use baby oil, but will be trying diesel very soon!!! i know u said you agree the piston is better, but why even bother with a electric brushless fan.

[@trooperwolfie]

I don't even use a fan, I've removed it and made it into an acoustic smoker. If you can fit the older smokers into my Matilda II your a better person than me lol.

[@trooperwolfie]

You obviously didn't watch the whole video did you? 🙂
