That's one of the things I've been wondering. I have not really seen anything on using the damper.

How does open vs close effect a smoke?

I wonder how much difference it makes with the fan causing positive flow through the smoker.

FWIW, 7.5 hours in and not done yet. I thought it would be about 1 hour per lb, but maybe that's at a higher temp. I ran it at 225 for the first 6 hours and then pushed it up to 235 because I wondered if it might take longer than expected.

Note to self. Pack temp probe next time. I'll have to figure out when its done the old fashioned way. smile
