Unburned Pucks

[SYVSteve]

I have noticed I am getting some unburned pucks in my water bowl.  I think they are apple or maple, will have to do a one-flavoe smoke to figure out which one.
Anyone else have this happen?
Here's the good part, can you dry them out and finish using them?  I know they will not be as thick as a fresh puck so I would just use three on the loading bar/burner.  Or am I just getting too cheep?!?!?!?!?!

Smoke it and they will come.

Can you provide a little more info on this problem.  No unburnt puck should fall into the water bowl.  I would not suggest reusing them by way of the puck advancer.  They normally fall apart if they get wet?

Some say BBQ is in your blood, if thats true my blood must be BBQ sauce.

Steve,

By "unburned" do you mean fully consumed or they are the same color as when you put them in? A perfectly consumed Bradley bisquette should retain its' shape albeit smaller & black. If they are the same brown as when you loaded them, then you likely have a timing issue with your generator.

The other possibility is that your advance button is semi-stuck & advancing the bisquettes before they're supposed to.

Not to worry, Bradley will replace anything no charge & real fast if you're still under warranty.

Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?

Most of my pucks seem to burn far enough that they pretty well disintegrate when pushed into the water (I think that is what's happening, I have not actually watched) but with apple and maple I am getting some that are all black, still in puck shape but a bit smaller than original.  Sounds like this is normal so I won't worry - I'll be happy![8D]

Smoke it and they will come.
