Did a second seasoning/fake cook run this morning. Put in a 7lb firebrick, 6oz hickory, 8oz water. Set the controller to max (WAO), heated to 290 before light went off, temp topped 300, temp down to 255, light back on, this went on for 3 cycles, I surmise that this unit has what I remember being called a heavy positive bias. Ain't bad, you can always dial down but you can only dial up so much.
2nd run, put controller to 1 notch below 225, same brick (still not tender), 4oz wood, 8oz water. Did a lot better, heated to 226, pwr off, went up to 248, down to 207 pwr on, up to 215 pwr off, rise to 236 good cycling. Put the controller to 225 and I think thats where she'll stay, off at 244, up to 259, back down to 210, then on.
I think you folks done put me on to something here. 1st cookwill be Fri.
