Dampers- I’ve done a few smokes, and going well. Beats any of the BBQ (sic) available locally here.
But, one thing I’m not very clear on are the Lower dampers. I’ve been leaving the top smokestack wide open for airflow (it’s not that large anyway). I understand the function of lower dampers for sick and charcoal burners- that’s pretty clear.
But, with propane, the whole bottom is already pretty well open (vented). The attached picture shows the two Adjustable bottom dampers, about level with the wood smoke box (water pan is above, burner below ). It doesn’t show all the open area on the bottom, however.
Any thoughts? I couldn’t find much good info for us lowly propane burners.......
