So as a first time poster I'm sure this has probably been covered before but I would have to go through 5000 titles and messages to try to find what I'm looking for so I'm just gonna put it out there. I have had five cooks with my new KBQ. None of them turning out with as much success as get with my stick burner. I don't really want to be a debbie downer here but… I purchased the KBQ based on Meatheads review and recommendation. So far I have had 5 cooks on this unit and can't seem to get enough smoke on my meat. I even have both poppets open for the entire cook time. What I do notice is that you lose a lot of smoke compared to a stick burner. When the fan cycles down and stops drawing smoke into the chamber the rest of the smoke just goes out through the chimney and doesn't get used. Which means you lose about 50% of the smoke that would be used when the fan is not drawing smoke into the chamber. Also huge temp. fluctuations between peak and trough as it cycles. Probably as much as 15-25Ëš's
So what am I doing wrong if anything and is this just typical for this type of cooker? So far honestly I've been very disappointed and prefer my stick burner. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
