Thanks for that. I never did get the smoke I wanted and in the mean time my 10hr smoke took 12. I did research and found your idea so I will try that today on another smoke. I like alot of smoke so sure hope this takes care of it. Sounds like you have it figured out. I do alot of 225 smoking so this is good info. This forum and people like you make this way more enjoyable. Can't replace experience. Cheers, Don
