As a new smoker, I'm not sure if this is a general propane smoker issue or specific to my Smoke Hollow. While smoking (2) whole chickens, a tray for chicken strips and a pan of baked beans (yes this smoker can hold a lot and I had room to spare), I was have difficulty keeping temperature (215-225 goal). The outside temp was in the 80s and there was little wind. Once the wood chips burned off at about 3hrs in I had to crank both burners to high just to try to keep temp. One thought is that the large water pan impedes the heat for rising in to the box. Please advise o Yoda's of Smoking.
