Started the seasoning an hour ago and just noticed these red looking droplets of fluid on top of smoker. Is this normal and will this also happen during regular smoking ? Just wanting to know what to expect in the future for what will be normal use and what should be a red flag of me doing something wrong.
some of it did stick but came up with putty knife and a wipe down. I used 3oz of wood for 3 Pattie’s and the taste was strong and bitter. Waiting on my wood order to come in and just used some applewood that I’ve had for over a year from the box store. Never again. Although I did go into this knowing that I would have a learning curve.
but I think I will put it up with my Bella and just bring it out when the weather looks iffy. While the first smoke was an epic fail I did actually enjoy the fact that my #2 ran great. No belching and beautiful smoke. Wood looked like charcoal at the end. And I perfected the use of the Auber. It ran like a charm. Stayed within 1 to 2 degrees of the 225 target. I did take note that a few times when I didn’t see temp moving I closed out the app then opened it back up to find that it must have frozen because temp was higher. So that’s good to know when I’m dealing with
meat.
