My feed is still factory setting..Just curious what you guys set your pellet fees to?
I normally leave my feed rate at the stock settings, though when I've been doing briskets I've been lowering the feed rate to about 4.5%Just curious what you guys set your pellet fees to?
My understanding increasing feed rate does not affect the ability to hit higher temps. However, one would think that if you increase the feed rate, you would hit temps at a faster rate, maybe not a higher temp per say as pellet type has a impact on how high of a temp you're able to hit.If the smoker is having trouble getting to high temps would the feed rate need to be adjusted up?
Sounds about right, especially if you're cooking at higher temps. Lid opens and cold air comes rushing in. 10 minutes isn't bad for it to settle down. Curious as to what temps are you cooking at and how long are you leaving the lid open.I live in Colorado and I just got my 590 it seems to struggle a little bit, Wondering if the thin air requires a higher feed rate. After opening the lid I lose 30 degrees or so and it takes about 10 minutes to get back to set temp. Anyone have any thoughts on this.
I have a hard time believing your having high temp troubles....Your already smoking hot!!If the smoker is having trouble getting to high temps would the feed rate need to be adjusted up?
When you say getting up to temp can you please elaborate a little further?I am not having trouble with high temps, I am having trouble getting up to temp. I am still a novice with this thing and so far the food I have made has been great. getting ready for my longest smoke tomorrow with a brisket. Mt 590 is under a roof on my patio, I am cooking at 400 just to get the feel of this thing and when I open the lid it is for the shortest time possible less than a minute typically. I just wanna get some info from people with more experience with pellet grills/smokers as I have none. I appreciate any feedback.
It heats up pretty fast but stalls out when getting close to desired temp.When you say getting up to temp can you pleas
e elaborate a little further?
