    PBC lid not secure

    I noticed that there is smoke coming from the lid gap on the top of my PBC. Is this normal, as others have said that it is not? I'll take a picture to see if anyone has any opinions.

    If it causes your temps to rise it is a problem.

      It seems like it is flush with the top of the barrel, but it will slide a little if you move it. I need to get a temperature probe for the barrel still, so I'll have to wait and see if it's affecting the temperature.

        I typically have a little smoke whispering out.

          Be careful with that. I was having that issue and my temps were up in the high 400s. I had to put pavers on the lid to settle the temp. They told me that a little bit was normal as Jerod said. I'd just monitor it closely.

            It's not too much, less than is coming out of where the bars go in, but I'd read in a few other threads where it was said that no smoke should come out of here. I'll monitor and definitely check once I have my probe to monitor the smoker temp. Thanks all!

              Use a rubber mallet to get the lid on tight... Then use the mallet to lightly knock the lid up a little bit when you're ready to take it off. Works great.

                I guess my lid doesn't fit like your lid does David Parrish . My lid when placed on the cooker will slide around in a circle with a little touch of the handle. I guess I don't think tapping it with a mallet will work in my case.

                  For those of you having problems with the newer PBCs with lids that don't seem to fit tightly, take a look at this topic:



                  You may find some answers.
