Hello, everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster! I was prepping for a cook this morning and noticed a "more than normal" amount of smoke coming out from between the top and bottom of my KJ. Is this an issue?
Considerations:
- Current temp at time of picture 204 working towards a final temp of 225.
- Using a Flame Boss blowing at 49% fan power.
- Using Mesquite for the first time, maybe I'm just not used to the very thick smoke.
- Last cook was the kamado joe cooking show's peach-rosemary tenderloin, we got a little hot on the grill, but don't think it caused any damage on the felt.
- I've got up to the 500s on pizza cooks, but there is not visible damage to the felt seal.
