My brother bought one a model 2, 3 months ago. I was super impressed. For 15 years, I've been babysitting my NBBD during smokes. It was tuned for 225F but still there is the refilling the wood box (babysitting). 6 butts would take 12-14 hours and a case of beer.
Ordered this Model 3. It was shipped Super Fast. The packing was superb. Literally no chance of transit damage. This is one impressive unit!
Got it seasoned and am now in the process of smoking a half ham and a whole chicken. About 15 minutes in, Acrid yellow smoke came pouring out. You guessed it ... The included Hickory pegs caught fire. Stuck on Ove Gloves and removed the chunks. rubbed out the fire and replaced just one of the chunks. Still it caught on fire.
Would wrapping the chunks in foil help?
I guess I'll answer my own question... YES! Foil works perfectly. No more fires and just sweet white smoke that seems to last longer.
