My Smoky Mountain propane smoker got to 219f before I put the turkey in @ 6AM PT; temperature dropped to 139, slowly rose to 149. How do I get it back up to >200f so the bird will be done by 2PM?
Opening the door and putting in a big, cold turkey will require some time to recover. Just a fact of the cooker. Just have patience and it will recover and cook your turkey in time.
Propane tanks have a built in safety valve... Turn off the gas to the smoker... turn off the tank.... Turn the tank on S-L-O-W-L-Y... to reset the valve... You might hear a click when the valve opens and resets... It should work correctly after that....
