Well I am about 1.5hrs into a sausage/chicken/turkey smoke. I have a full ring of K. Started out with 25-30 lit as it is about 20 degrees outside. so I set my guru etemp to 240ish. Well it hasnt gotten up to temp blower working fine no huge apparent leaks.
So I do some fiddling turn the blower off and open up the other lower vents. It starts to come up to temp nicely (mind you that the Etemp is off). I turn the Etemp back on and the temp starts to drop right away.
The only thing I can think of that is happening is that it is blowing in such cold air and blowing the warm air out that its dropping the temp. Has anyone had any experience or similar phenomenon?
