Got a quick question. I'm smoking a store-bought, pre-cooked, smoked ham. Yeah, it's already supposed to be smoked, why am i re-smoking it - there is no smoky flavor in store-bought hams! Anyway, I put the ham in the smoker, Smokin-it #3.5d, and noticed I had to change the controller settings. It was set for:
stage 1
Smoker temp - 225
Cook until - time
Cook time - 2.00
Stage 2
Smoker temp - 225
Cook until - time
Cook time - 2.00
... all the other stages were the same ...
I needed to change stage 1 duration from "time" to "food temp" "145 deg"
As I was changing the settings for stage 1, the smoker (which had already started and had started kicking out smoke) started to shoot smoke out the vent. That smoke came out like there was a fan pushing it out - which we know there is no fan in the Smokin-It # 3.5D. The burst lasted 1-2 sec and then was done.
So, I'm curious as to why I got a burst of smoke shooting out of the smoker as I changed the settings.
