    Gonna try it out!

    Well... I started the smoker and it was smoking really good. I set it at 250 and the Ink bird said it was at 315 in just about a half hr but the unit was reading 183. So I tried to turn the temp up and it wouldnt go past 204 before showing the "H" code. Manual says that is the overheated code or...

    Pellet Smoker Question

    I'm going to try and use a smoke tube in the new Pit Boss V4 and my question is, although I can hear the fan running under the unit, does it get enough air to keep the tube smoking? It's basicly an oven and puffs some smoke every once in awhile and I want more smoke flavor than it gives me...

    Am I the only one......

    Well I dont know about the heat source since it will be on the bottom rack inside the smoker. The fire box is outside on the bottom then the smoke from that travels thru the sides of the unit to the oven so it wouldnt get a heat source but would maybe get some air flow from the fan generating...

    Am I the only one......
