    Smoking a 14lb bird

    Hi all. I smoked a turkey today to an internal temp of 158 then let it rest for 30 minutes when I went to carve it, the meat looks good but I am seeing some pink liquid inside as I am going to cut the first leg off. I just put it under a foil tent snd in the oven at 300. How long until I...

    Loss of Temperature

    After total reassembly and a new regulator, I now have after about 15 minute intervals, temps of 280 with medium heat on my external thermometer (not on the door) and 214 on low WITH all components installed and water in the pan In short, I'm smoking again!

    Also pressure washed everything from the box to the pans and got the lion's share of the soot out. Going to let everything dry overnight before I reassemble I'm not sure if I found a problem area or not so I am going to go ahead and get a regulator with a gage because I want one anyway

    Loss of Temperature

    I have taken all of it apart and brushed it. I used wire to go through every burner hole to make sure it passes and I did remove the mesh on the opening and clean it all up. See attached photo I then ran compressed air all around. I guess it's time to reassemble and put on a new regulator to...

    Loss of Temperature

    So I've done some tear down. I found a little gunk in the tube right where the regulator connects in but otherwise am not seeing a ton of stuff in here. I'm going to run a wire through the burner holes and see if I can fish anything out Can you guys tell much from these pics?

    Good responses, guys. Thanks So I need to clean my pans and check for any stuck regulators or clogs etc in my burners? I will give it a shot without buying the regulator first as the other items are free. I appreciate the ideas because I am anxious to smoke again

    Yes, I showed above I am using a dual probe external thermometer to get my readings. No looking at the door reading at all I normally get to 240 or more on "Medium" heat with meat, fluid and wood very easily and as you said have to dial it down. This is with my external dual probe thermometer...
