Lexington not smoking on smoke

SmokingFarmer · Nov 19, 2023

I have a PitBoss Lexington. Yesterday I was trying to smoke a pork roll but was unable to get smoke on the smoke setting. Pot was clean and properly being fed. While on smoke setting I was seeing Temps of 330. After 2 hours of messing with it I set it tp 400 to cook the pork roll and all of a sudden the patio was a huge cloud of white smoke.

Welcome from Texas to the group !
I don’t see a picture on your post but it has a p setting and a smoke option when you start it up. Does it operate correctly other than the smoke?
Let me know

I have come to learn that the type of pellets really do matter when it comes to amount of smoke. I have great success with the mesquite and apple. Not so much with the PB Competition Blend. There are so many variable that your results could vary.
