OK, here’s the situation, it’s a very windy day in New Jersey right now, I’m doing a test run turkey before Thanksgiving, I’ve primed my new smoker, I’ve got it all going, but it keeps dropping temperature, anybody out there with any tips, advice, or tricks using this type of pellet smoker please let me know.
I currently have a 21 pound turkey I brined overnight, injected and covered in an herb compound butter, and upon realization that it was a large and in charge bird, I had to quickly spatchcock it on the fly to get it to fit better in the smoker, you live and learn. That being said any advice about keeping the temperature up on this smoker will be amazing! The only way I keep it at temperature (I’m looking for 250°) is by setting the temperature to be 300, then it stays at 2:50, is that normal? Is it the wind? Is it because it’s 40° today? Should I angle the smoker a certain way?
