Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro 440 Unboxing

[Smoking Cajun]

I’ve seen a lot of guys plug holes on pellet smokers with foil or gaskets trying to eek every last drop of smoke flavor out of those pellets.

That is not a good idea. It can cause the hot air to blow back up through the auger and cause the hopper to catch fire.

Supposed to be Vented Much like Gas grills.........

Has anyone tried putting a small cast iron pan with some wood chunks on the heat diffuser to try and get a more pronounced smoke flavor ?

Would a larger exhaust help with that issue?

I wouldn't worry too much about it "leaking smoke". They all do, and it's not a Bad Thing. You may burn a bit more pellets, but then you also get a bit more smoke flavor as a result, and you don't get the dreaded "stale smoke" in the cooker. Let yer cooker breathe!

Do you think the stick burner accessory is neccessary?

I'd try it without. Smoke flavor is a personal thing. Only you can judge that.

Lumberjack 100% hickory. The Competition Blend isn't too bad. I still have 3 other flavors of LJ to try.

I’ve tried LJ hickory and pecan so far. I still have LJ oak, cherry, and apple I need to try. Looking forward to apple wood smoked turkey!

Does the 440 need to modified for a second shelf?

I don't see a place to mount it so i would think so. I would email Dennis. I asked but didn't ask about mounting it.
