I think It's just the way the ProQ's cook, I struggled with mine when I used it for turkey a few years ago and the hottest I could get it to was 280f, mine will only cook hotter than this if I use my stoker or BBQ guru with it.aris wrote:Mine was ok - but I could not get my ProQ above 280f. The cook took too long, and had to finish in the oven. The smoke ring also put off some of the punters, and the skin was very leathery. The turkey was very very moist though!
Not sure about the temperature issue. It was cold and raining, but I had a garden umbrella out so the smoker was dry.
All the vents were open, no water in e pan - just left it dry. Used blue bag restaurant charcoal. I even tried my arduino controlled BBQ fan but I think it needs a bit of fine tuningStill could not get the temps up.
I know this is an unusual probem in this sphere - but any ideas?
It's Christmas, so what's cooking?

How hot did you get it with the stoker? Did you manage to get it to 350?

I've cooked at 350f on my ProQ in the past and with the stoker it's no problem as it uses quite a big fan.aris wrote:How hot did you get it with the stoker? Did you manage to get it to 350?
