    Help! Temp issues

    Totally wind related. Put up some sheets of OSB around the smoker and its made a huge difference. One point I saw a 40 degree temp drop in the smoker. Sudden large gusts of wind :hit:

    Help! Temp issues

    Hello! After an hour, still having issues getting the temp back up to 325F after I put the bird in. Thinking its wind related so have set up some wind breaks. Any suggestions? Using nat gas camp chef 24", hickory/pecan chips.

    Okay so my wife decided a 17lb is what we need. Not the 12lb I mentioned we needed to get based on what I've read.   ' So, for those that have smoked a large bird such as what I Have, any advice? I've read a number of posts on here and just want to make sure I haven't missed anything!  TIA!
