    Having trouble getting smoker above 300 degrees

    I put the basket on top of the grates so there is room for ashes on the bottom. Also, the only reason I wanted to get to 300 was for the break in burn.

    Having trouble getting smoker above 300 degrees

    I measure the firebox to CC opening at 4.5" x 8". I have also sealed the lid so no heat escaped. You think the seal is preventing air from being sucked in?

    First smoke ever....Baby back ribs

    Thanks guys, it was definitely the best tasting ribs I had ever eaten. Not that Im a good cook, its just that the options in Los Angeles are sub par. BTW, what temp range do you guys set your Maverick for ribs? I set 203 internal and 220-230 range for the CC.

    First smoke ever....Baby back ribs

    First time smoking anything and these ribs were excellent. Did the 2-2-1 method and slathered bbq sauce for the last hour. One hour at the end may have been a bit much. The ribs tasted amazing, but it could have been juicier.

    Having trouble getting smoker above 300 degrees

    Dave I think you're right. It looks like the fire is suffocating. I'm cooking a rack of baby back ribs right now and when the fire gets low I have to open the firebox side door to let in more fresh air. As soon as I open the door, the temp jumps back up to a desired range and then some. This is...

    Having trouble getting smoker above 300 degrees

    I'm going to attempt a rack of ribs today, so let's see how it works. The instructions said not to use wood during the break in so I avoided it.

    Having trouble getting smoker above 300 degrees

    I have a Landmann vertical offset smoker and I cannot get the temp above 300. I'm using the Maverick 733, so I know its not the thermometer. I used a full weber chimney in the firebox and another full chimney after 20-30mins, the CC has not passed 300. I'm doing my first burn in for the new...

    Thanks Al and Mike, I am looking forward to putting the smoker together this week and cure it as you suggested.

    For those wanting a different door seal than a rope seal that won't stick / stay or hi-temp silicone

    Would you recommend this stuff for putting together a new smoker? I recently purchased the Landmann vertical offset smoker which is very similar to the old brinkmann people have. Would I be able to use this on the location where the two halves of the firebox are screwed together and where the...

    Flaxseed Oil for seasoning new smoker

    Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot with flaxseed and see how it goes in the long run. I live near the ocean so the salt air will try to rust the thing out faster than normal.
