I've just completed my first dry run using my new NanoQ from BBQ Guru. I must say it did a pretty good job keeping my WSM between 225 and 250 when measured with my Redi Chek remote thermometers.
I'm wondering what amount should the top vent be open when using a ATC system? What have you found works the best for you?
Today on my dry run, I put the bottom damper at 50% on the BBQ Guru Pit Viper blower, and the top vent to 100% open. The pit got a bit warmer than usual a few times today, but I have a whole lot of other new variables in the mix as well. 1) I used no water in the pan and I normally do. 2) This was also my first test of my enclosure. One or both of these new things might have had something to do with the differences I noticed.
