From both I guess. The doors leak so much that smoke rolling out of the sides taints the tank black. I've never had any creosote taste from any of the cooks and the smoke is invisible to light blueish so it shouldn't be an airflow issue.bluecatfish wrote:I see a lot of black soot at the ends of the doors. Is that from the burnout or is that coming from the cooks you have done?
Not yet, that's what's I'm doing next. Any idea how big your gap is percentage wise from the FB throat size? Have you measured temp difference from bottom rack to top rack (if you have one) ?mp4 wrote:Did you close up the baffle plate gap? I did mine and my temps settled in quite a bit. The last cook I was within 5-10° left to right and center.
