Had smoke first time? Did you clean the firepot?P820 series
Set at 225
I did clean and it did smoke the first time.Had smoke first time? Did you clean the firepot?
I did went thru the whole manual and seems like iAlso, did you read the manual for proper lighting procedure? My Son has a PB700 and the 2nd time it didn't work, no smoke or heat. We took the grate and metal covers off, the firepot was overloaded with pellets. Completely cleaned it out. Relit it from scratch and it worked perfectly that day. Waiting to see if it will work on the third cook in a few weeks, as he's new to smoking meats. We're very proud as his first cook was Ribs, turned out great. The second one , with all the problems was Pork Butt. Also came out excellent and only took 15 hours.

i am using black mountain. I’m trying to smoke a 15 # brisket. Now somehow started to smoke again. Totally weirdThe lower the temp the more smoke you will see , chicken takes smoke pretty easy, What pellets did you not say you were using?
i am running at 225. It is my first brisket and I’m a bit scare. A friend who was been smoking for a long time told me to keep in the smoker until 160. Pull out, wrap in aluminum foil and finish in the oven (according to him you won’t get any more smoke after you wrap so it makes sense in finishing in the oven). Leave in the oven until 205 at 225 as the temperature. Has anyone heard of this before? I am new to this forum and I know I can and will learn a lot. Thanks for any input.
That's good. I've found that if you do not run the pit temp too high, like 275 or less, and watch the pit temp with a separate probe, since the built in probes are usually not accurate, you should be OK.

Wow. Every brisket reacts different. Thank you for letting me know.>Leave in the oven until 205 at 225 as the temperature.

I suggest not cooking to a specific internal temperature. Once the brisket reaches 190F, start probing it for tenderness. Internal temperatures does not determine when brisket is done, it only determines how fast it is becoming tender. I've had them finish as low as 190F and as high as 210F.
