I appreciate all the demo’s and education on this unit. Just purchased it on year end clearance and it did not have a manual. I have viewed the manual online but this is so much more informative.
Have you had any problems with going straight from low temp to sear temp? I used mine for first time and it started a fire. Someone on FB group said same thing happened to him and to just increase temp slowly and walk it up to 500.
Brian Palmer I haven’t had any issues. Was the firepot completely cleaned out first? I usually check. Sometimes the ash clean out isn’t 100 percent and some pellets get stuck.
@@chefsbonus7696 It was the first day I used it. I started it again the next day and it started a fire again (at start up). After that I didn't have any problems. I'm not sure what happened.
I have another video about that, but use a shop vac or pellet cleaning kit. I use degreaser wipes. A lot of folks use vinegar and warm water. I also use a flat scraper to get off all the grease and burnt food on all my smokers.
Wasn't bad. Since this initial shoot, I have actually taken the cap off the firepot and it heats the charcoal and ceramic inserts much quicker and at a higher temp.
