I recently purchased a masterbuilt extra wide smoker. I have done about 6 or 7 smokes in and it has worked great, until today. About half way through my smoke I was adding wood and and realized there was about 1/4' of soot caked to the outside of my wood chip plate and of course there was soot all over my ribs and inside my smoker. The flame was nothing but a tall orange flame. Also, I don't know if it is related, but twice I had to shut it down because a flame had started right where the adjustment knob meets the baffle (at least I think that's what it's called).
Anywho, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how to fix it? It doesn't seem like the masterbuilt has much space for air to mix with the flame so maybe it is inherent to the smoker. It hasn't done it before and this is my second smoker I've owned and the first time I've ran into problems. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks in advance
