Help! Temp issues

[nucleuscracker]

Hello! After an hour, still having issues getting the temp back up to 325F after I put the bird in. Thinking its wind related so have set up some wind breaks.

Any suggestions?

Using nat gas camp chef 24", hickory/pecan chips.

I preheated my propane smoker to like 330 then when i opened it to add wood and put the turkey in it dropped to like 215, it took awhile to get up to my desired temp of 325...avout an hour tho so maybe yours is wind related...sorry wish i could help

Totally wind related. Put up some sheets of OSB around the smoker and its made a huge difference. One point I saw a 40 degree temp drop in the smoker. Sudden large gusts of wind :hit:
