Have had my 700 since May now and to say I love it is an understatement. Just wanted to pick some of the more experienced users brains on fine tuning this bad boy.
I’ve noticed my long cooks usually take about 20% longer than a recipe would call for. Example would be ribs taking 4-5 hours to pass the bend test in a recipe when mine will take about 6. I tested the unit with an independent thermometer and it runs pretty darn close to what the bull tells me. So I don’t think it’s a feed rate issue.
I’ve seen where guys seal around the inside of the lid/opening. Do you think the escaping smoke is causing my longer times?
No real concerns as I’ve figured out my pork butts take 12+ w/o wrapping to get to 203 and I’ve planned accordingly. The finished product is always amazing, just want to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong.
Thanks in advance and any other “secrets” anyone would like to share would be appreciated!!
