Hi guys, a follow up on my high temp PBJ...
i've tried a couple more cooks, following some advice from the thread..Less briqs to start (~10) and giving the cooker some time to settle (~10mins) before putting food on. No peeking and quickly putting food on.
I even tried throttling the vent fully closed+some foil to close it an additional ~1/2 way
Unfortunately, implementing the above i'm still having similar issues.. cooker's temps continue to runaway up past 350 and stay up there.
Everyone i've messaged or read says their cooker runs consistent at around 275-300, but i cant seem to get mine to run there.
Any final suggestions? Is there anything i should check that could indicate a defect? (note this is a newer PBJ, not a recall one)
I really dont want to have to block off the vent or the rod holes etc as that seems like it defeats the purpose of a "simple cooker"
You need to get the sides crudded up first. This slows the airflow. You might think I am crazy, but I have seasonedin 2 PBC's and 4 PBJs.
