Low temps using a kamado style smoker
-
I just got a new chimney cap for my Primo, its a Smokeware Stainless Steel cap, it eliminates the Daisy Wheel style that BGE, Primo, and the older model Kamado Joe’s come with. In my one cook using it, I found it greatly improved my temperature control, as it doesn’t move when you open the lid of the grill like the daisy wheel style does. I would think for the best low temp control, you will need a fan an controller to help maintain that low of a temp, which you already have.

Jonathon thank you I appreciate that. I have prob a silly questions but is the spot where it shows like rules for posting I. Forums? I’ve seen a couple times where people have posted a external link and then it’s removed. Just kind of wondering as I am pretty new here and when I posted pics I wasn’t sure if having the pic with my controller was ok. I’m probably overthinking this but I thought I would ask. Thanks

Stats77 Just don’t post links to the competition’s websites and you should be in the clear for the most part.

Stats77 Yeah, in general, if it is bad it will be removed but there isn’t anything like a penalty if you post something that gets removed.

Well i finally got a chance to use my Fireboard Drive Fan on Primo XL today, i think it will work great once i get it tuned in, but cooking a pork loin was really too short of a cook to play with it much.
-
Well got to use my Firedboard Fan today, and I couldn’t be happier with it! Had it set at 225 and over the course of about 8 hours it held an average temp of 225.
-
I’ll also add I think the key to the fan doing what you want us to have your grill/smoker basically tuned in to the temp you want it to hold at before putting the fan on.

Tex_77 That is pretty awesome man! How much fuel did you go through during that process? 8 hours is a long time for it to hold that steady and I see one drop that could possibly be adding more wood or whatever you were using but other than that one drop halfway through it is remarkably steady!

Jonathon I just had it loaded by 3/4 full with charcoal, the big drop is when I opened the lid to take the chicken off. I haven’t checked to see how much fuel is left yet, but I’m thinking it probably ran through a good portion of it.

Jonathon i refueled the Primo today and still had half a load of charcoal left over from the last 8 hour plus cook.
