            I do the "toast test". Let’s me see where the hot spots are. This photo is my Yoder Cimarron Pellet Trailer.

              Yeah toast! Forgot about that. Is 250 about the optimum temp to run a pellet pooper?

              Jerod Broussard, every grill has a different sweet spot. I do well with the thermostat set on 350 in the Cimarron, the actual cooking temp is about 290. The Jambo is about a 275 cooker with wood and about 250 with pellets. I like hot n fast though!

              Welcome to the pit from Kansas. I didn't get into the science of the thing before I played with my 640. I did ribs right away. Will calibrate when temps more stable here in KS. I have found that the top rack is 10-15 degrees cooler than the bottom rack, however, it holds temp well and consistently. Bottom rack very close to temp shown on controller within 5 degrees. I have the baffle pushed in 5 to 6 inches (Pulled all way out then pushed back in). Seems to cook very evenly from left to right with that setting, however, as I said before, I haven't played all that much. Good luck!
