When I smoke/cook I have always set the oven timer for a estimate of how long the meat will take to cook and set the smoke generator timer for how much smoke I want, i.e. 4 hours. Should I be leaving the smoke generator on after smoking is done or only have the oven on?
I do if I know it is going to be a long smoke,it just helps with temp recovery.
I do, extra heat...
i turn my smoke generator off... then again I have 900 watt finned heater and blower for enough heat
I also turn my generator off after the smoke, my thoughts are the longer its on the sooner it will need to be replaced and it aint cheep.
Oh Ya,,, I also have the duel element mod and a couple fans stirring things up in there.
I also have the dual element modification, but prior to that I ran the smoke generator the full time for the extra heat for almost 5 years, and never had a major issue with the generator.
I turn it off, have the dual heater mod completed.
I also turn mine off even though my puck burner is never in the OBS cabinet...
And I have the 900w finned element and convection fan mod ;D
