Smoking

[Boopster]

I have a

PBV4PS2 and I was waiting for it to get to temp and it was just full of smoke not sure what I did but I emptied the burner cup not sure if that's what you call it. Also I set my temp but it won't stop climbing.​

​

My PBV4PS2 as soon as I start it fills with smoke why is that?​

Where is it filling with smoke?

Is your door open when you start it up?

No it's closed.

It's very important that you have door open till it gets going. That first smoke build up can ignite and blow with a shot of oxygen. Backdraft

The inside of the smoker.

Ok I will try that next time. So just to be sure it will get to temp with door open?

Thanks Jim, that is exactly what I was going to say

Always leave your door open during start up. The Heavy white smoke is normal. As soon as your fan kicks in the Heavy smoke will go away and you are safe to close the door. Then it will come up to temp.

You're very welcome, thats why were here. We can all learn something new no matter how long we've been at it.

Like they said keep the door open at start up, you'll hear the roar of the fire in the firepot. Then you can close the door and adjust your temperature.
