Fire in the smoke box

Well, no replies yet?

We the wood new or seasoned. Sometimes new woods seems to "fire" pretty easily.

I wouldn't worry unless it's a FIRE!

Wood plus oxygen plus heat equals fire. It won't create more or better smoke flavor until after the black smoke dies down. There is a whole 'nuther discussion about what smoke, what kind of smoke (clear or what) creates the smoke flavor. But heavy sooty smoke, when a fire first starts, is NOT what you want.

I usually leave these up to Stuart, but he's REALLY busy. I'd suggest calling customer service for a quick answer if you're still worried about a "fire."

The only time I've had a "fire" problem is in the large 150's, when I open the door, the big rush of fresh oxygen can cause a minor flare up, but it dies down very quick.

CS can give you the quick answer.

Thanks!

Hi, Ricky,

I suspect that opening the door is what caused the flare up. Give us a call at 1-800-423-0698 if it happens again.
