bugsydog,
I’m sure C/S can explain this better than, myself. Three conditions must be met for combustion. Heat, ( the electrode getting very hot at start up ) fuel, ( gases from smoldering wood ) and oxygen ( from opening the door when starting the cook ). When those three things are just right, BOOM. It’s like when burning leaves in the fall. As you pile leaves on top of the fire. They will smolder for a while then when all conditions are right the leaves will burst into flames. The same thing is happening in your smoker. It happens in my AQ and my large cold smoker from time to time but I don’t worry about it. Once the excess oxygen is burned up things go to normal. Hope this helps a little.
Tom
