Hi. It's day one of this new smoker. Seasoned and ready to go. Doing Asian style baby back racks and Mediterranean spatchcock chicken and some veggie kebabs.
Seasoning- few hours with weber briquettes and lump of Apple wood. Proq maintained steady 350f throughout.
Smoking for last hour- added the pan of hot water and carried on with extra weber briquettes and a little hickory. Temperature hit 250f immediately and stopped. Hasn't moved since.
Seen some reviews where people have struggled controlling the temperature but so far for me nothing could be easier. Will update at the end of the day to see how the cook went.
2.5 hours in. Water pan which wasn't full is now empty. Easy to tell by the sudden sizzles and appearance of fresh smoke. Topped up. Temp straight back to 250f.
