Like Bododio writes, the surface temp of the element when it's 'lit'(and any metal surfaces in close proximity, ie bottom of woodbox)should ignite/smoke wood at any oven setting. The quick arrival time to 150* setpoint probably prevents copious smoke at that setting. A smaller wattage element(still has same high surface temp) would work harder/longer to reach 150* and might produce more smoke - but maybe not best for maintaining 300* when cooking large loads. Until they sell a dual element oven, cold smoking will just have to be an adaptive art.quote:Originally posted by Pags:..Also, explains why I don't see much smoke if any at 150*..
I'm thrilled just to push button and go sit down. Come back when done... enjoy great smoked food and pats on back. I guess it's working
