Thanks! Replacing the stock wheels will be the first thing to do if Academy actually gets these in stock here.

T...
I tried a small leaf blower once on my T&K gravity feed. Dumped lit charcoal in the chute, closed it up and blew air into the ball valve. It came up to temp amazingly fast. But it blew ash into the cook chamber. Foiling the bottom helped. The temp increased so fast I thought the door therm was broken. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Finally Picked One Up
Live in AZ. Working in NM. I’ll just swing by Academy in El Paso……
Sure. Why not! It’s sorta on the way. New to the forum. Been outdoor cooking for several years. I’ll post some of my thoughts on this beast later. Good and bad. Last edited by spf520; 11-28-2021 at 03:43 PM.. |

I bought mine the week before Thanksgiving, and unfortunately will be returning it this Friday. Not sure if I got a defective smoker or not, but I have noticed that the front of the smoker in the fire cute area is extremely too hot too touch. I haven't measured the surface temp in this area, but I would estimate it at around 200 degrees or slightly more. The rest of the cooker is cool to touch, but this area is extremely hot to touch. This doesn't bother me too much, but the lack of airflow that I have experienced with this smoker is not acceptable. From startup to get up to 275 degrees takes 1-1/2 - 2 hours - even with the fire box door open. I can even deal with this as well, and just start it up earlier, as I really want to love this smoker. The real problem is the recovery time though. My second cook was some ribs, and after taking the ribs out to wrap and put back in the smoker, after an hour, the internal temp was just barely back over 200. Also, kept nice size chunks in the fire box the entire cook with very little smoke flavor at all.
I was just about to submit my order for a new Smoke X4 w/ Billows, and I am sure that this would help tremendously, but I just got to thinking that I am trying too hard to like this smoker. I feel that a temp controller should improve on temp consistency, and be an addition and NOT a requirement. If this smoker cannot get up to, and maintain temperature on its own I just don't feel like it is a smoker that I want to keep. Academy said that they will return the smoker since I am within my 60 day purchase, so I am leaning towards a Hunsaker instead. I REALLY wanted to love this smoker, but after a very frustrating seasoning session, and 2 cooks, I just don't think this is the smoker for me. |

GetChaOne....... seen one at Burleson Academy Last Nite that looked Good - door closed Nice, no warpage.
I run mine on a Pitmaster IQ120 and mix chunks in the chute. Up to temp (275-300*) in an Hour and recovers pretty decent. I leave mine in my driveway and if havnt used it in a while and have had rain - it's hard to start up as charcoal in chute gets dampish - but thats my fault for not pushing it into my garage full of junk. I use briquettes - I don't like Lump - in my experiences lump needs alot of airflow and I always had temps bounce up n down -

And the front left wheel doesn’t reach the ground by 1/4 inch. Some washers should fix that
