That thing is going to freaking rock! I'm pretty damn exited! Don't know why. Just am. You're gonna love it when you get this thing going. I love my Smoke Daddy in my fridge. The burner works great! I haven't had a jam up or nothing. I did have a hot rod failure when I got it, but Dennis fixed me right up with a new one. Great customer service! Turns out they had a bad batch of hot rods. Anyways, I have had no issues with my unit and I have done 14-15 hour long smokes with it, overnight and unattended. Plus, it produces great BBQ. Great smoke ring, great flavor and at lower smoker temps(225-250), a good deal of thin blue smoke. I do still supplement with an
AMNPS, but probably wouldn't have to. I did have to tweak the interval timer to keep temps down in the fridge because it is insulated so well. You might have the same issue, or maybe not being it is not insulated. You will find out. I use Lumber Jack pellets exclusively, typically 100% hickory. I found they produce the best smoke quality and flavor. I get them from a grill dealer in Kewaunee, WI and he gives me a SMOKIN' deal on them, like, 13 bucks for 20 lbs. That's a crazy good deal! And, they are produced in northern Wisconsin, so they are semi-local to me. If you have any questions, PM me. I'm sure I could help you out. There is a learning curve, a very SHORT learning curve.
Good luck, I'll be waiting for this one to fire up. Done yet?
