    First time using my smoke vault 18 questions

    Thanks. My first smoke went well yesterday. Thanks for the rips on air vents and start up methods. The smoker did well with smoke.....had to add small and medium hunks about every hour. Temp control was not easy. Was trying to sit at 250.....was happy to get it to stay between 260 to 270...

    Where did you place the smoke tube? So you did chunks and a tube inside at the same time?

    Top and bottom vents open.....did not try that on my first cook. Any thoughts on starting hot to get the chunks to start then back off?

    Gonna try again today......will cut down the chunks more and fire it up at a much higher temp to get things going. If all goes well I am gonna smoke a chicken for the first cook.

    I will give that a go.....when you start it up should I try for a much hotter temp them bring down to target once smoking?

    First time using my smoke vault 18 questions

    I fired up my new smoke vault 18 this morning to season it. It was a free gift to me so I am gonna give it a go. 9nly mod I made was to flatten the stops on the dampeners on both sides and top. Everything else was not touched. I hooked it all up, set it where there was little to no wind...
