    Dropping the fire box?

    I have tried the upper intake closed still a no go and no obstruction. I never knew what the upper intake was for!

    Dropping the fire box?

    Even with that amount if i close the lid on the firebox it goes out. The only way i seem to be able to get a good burn is with my wood stove fan. its as if there is no air movenmet at all like it has stalled somewhere.

    Dropping the fire box?

    it has grating that lifts the wood/charcoal. Stack wide open and firebox vent full open. Still can't get my temps up or a steady burn.

    I have that same smoker i can never get my temps steady! Also it kills the coals or flames when using wood if i close the lid.

    Your unit looks better built than mine!  I tried my wood stove fan and can get the wood to burn. If i don't i can get over 150 with out almost filling the firebox.

    Here are pictures of the smoker. I have removed excess wood, open dampers all the way, and exhaust fully. Close the firebox and cc door flame out.

    Let me make sure i said it right. the damper is wide open but when i open the firebox door it flares up. the stack is wide open as well. I'm now thinking its the wood its seasoned almond that refuse to burn most times.

    And to make sure i am correct when using all wood it should burn not smolder correct?
