To Much Smoke?

[mcf0807]

Started pork butt at 225 everything appeared to be fine.. for a while. Then noticed temp would go as high as 300. Then every once in a while smoke will start rolling. Is this normal? At first thought the grill was on fire!!!

My 1150 will belch smoke like that every so often when set at 230 or below. Only last maybe a min.
If temps drop way down and then it starts heavy smoke for more than a min. Open the door and let some out. It can combust and blow door off.

Mine does cycle as you describe when I set it at the lower temp settings. Sounds normal to me.

Then every once in a while smoke will start rolling. Is this normal? At first thought the grill was on fire!!!

I like the term belch.. Sums it up. Thanks for the responses.
