    Question about heat element placement.

    It starts fanning the output very early. The green dotted line is the element output. That’s ok with me but you would think it would stay 100 % until it got close.

    Question about heat element placement.

    1 hour with just the smoke tube and fan went up 12 degrees. Turned the setting to 100 degrees and was holding temp in 4 minutes and fanning the output of the element from 0 to about 25%
