Meant to post earlier. Did another trial run on Saturday. I started off with charcoal again. About a full chimney. Started with my weed burner. This time I wanted to get it hotter than last time in the cook chamber. I was using my probes to monitor temps. Had one about 6 inches away from the wall of cc closest to the firebox and one right under the gauge on the door. Stated with the door wide open for the first 15 minutes then went to open latch for the next 30 to closed. I tried this time with longer and thinner splits than before. Once I thought I had a the temps up to about 370 I closed the FB door. And let it ride for a while. Did not smolder but a good blue smoke. After about 30 minutes of letting the temps fall I added some more thinner splits and let burn for a couple of minutes and closed the door. Again no smolder but a good blue smoke. I would say a much better run. I also repositioned the smoker for this. I will post picks of this.
