This is only a guess, but I have had a limited amount of grease come into my wood box one time in a similar way. I watch to make sure that when I wrap the foil under the lid that it stays up tight to the bottom of the lid.

That and I trim my PBs of the fat cap anymore!


Thanks Cal. I have seen other posts about holes being in the wood box and the related placement of the wood around those holes.

My wood box does not have any holes in it. Am I misunderstanding where these holes are supposed to be or is it possible I have received a smoker without the holes being drilled in the wood box?
