This makes sense. It’s never happened before but I would assume as people continue to get on board with rec tec as they will the server will get more clogged up. Hope they address this!
Thanks for everyone’s ideas. This was solely a problem with pellets. I took all the pellets out and started fresh with lumberjack. Fires up every time.
Anyone had this issue? Put around 400lb of lumberjack through my bull with no problems. Bought a bag of knotty wood plum pellets and they wouldn’t light up. If I turned it on to 400 it wouldn’t fire unless I dropped the temp back to around 200. I cleaned the fire pot thinking that was the issue...
Interesting. Maybe it’s just me but I did a 10lb shoulder yesterday smoked at 180 for two hours and even added a smoke tube full of chips. Flavor was great but still not enough smoke as I like. Switching to lumberjack pellets to see how they differ.
For sure. I like the smoke tube idea especially one that could use wood chips. Still great flavor just was expecting a little more smokiness using mesquite over an almost 18 hour smoke. That being said doing that brisket on my WSM that windy night I wouldn’t have slept at all! In fact knowing...
Smoked it at 225 using Bear Mountain pellets. Thanks for the pointers I cant wait to try other pellets and may try the smoke tube. This thing is super impressive and the versatility is great. Just need to play around with it to get a bit more smoke.
