Hi guys. Completely new to smoking. Been studying like crazy. Just got my smoker today and wanted to do a trial run. Im already hitting a mass amount of issues.
First is the varying temp. It's a simple analog temp gauge that just says low med or high. Im getting temp fluxuations of 75 degrees. The element will turn on u til it hits 275 and then turn off until it drops to 200. Rinse and repeat. Im just using the junky built in thermometer that's on the smoker.
Second issue is smoke itself. Im not generating literally any smoke. I had the smoker cranked to high before I got glimpses of smoke at 300+ degrees. The second I dropped back below 250, everything disappated. I'll buy an amaze box if it'll help the smoke issue.
What should I do? Idk if I should return it and get a digital model or look into something else completely??
