When I built my pellet grill/smoker I never considered pressure when running the unit on high but then again I never really ran it in high setting. Now when we met in Georgia cookout I had Terry (TLG) run the unit on high setting and cook a yardbird to see what would happen.
The chicken turned out really good and a few mins longer in time than an SRG but it did really well.
The pressure issue showed up a few mins after the unit was going. There was smoke coming out of every port in the smoker and the smoke was a grey looking smoke. I knew I had a pressure issue so now that I'm of work and had time to consider the problem I now i'm on the way to fix the issue.
I love modifing grills!!
So here is the start of the "venting" and will finish soon and test so y'all get to watch as I go
First mod is the open the vent on top of the lid and make it a 4 in opening and pipe will be installed then testing begins!
