Webber one touch premium lid

Used my weber for the first time today.

I had almost a full chimney distributed both sides.

I threw on a couple wood chunks to get some smokey flavour into the chicken which worked well.

My concern is a lot of the smoke appeared to be coming from the lid/base seal and thermometer rather than just the vent holes.

Is this normal or should the smoke come only from the top vent?
 
Congrats on the new premium, to answer your question,
Yes it is normal for smoke to leak out around the lid base and thermometer when it is new , once you have used it a few times you will notice a build up of gunk around the edges and lid , some of us call it seasoning, then the leakage will slow down.
Keep cooking and having fun.
 
Thanks Dave! That shouldn't take long. Any meat is going on there! I posted my first results in a thread in the grilling section if you fancy a read. Nothing to major but enjoyed greatly.
