Vent Settings

[TCP]

How is one to determine how much the vent on a OBS should be open/closed during a smoke?
I had is wide open yesterday and it looked like Cheech and Chong in their van.  :P

Mine stays 3/4 to wide open ALL the time. The generator makes plenty of smoke.

I agree with pensrock 3/4" - wide open. 

Remember Cheech and Chong with the window cracked   --- let the smoke roll!

[squirtthecat]

Mine is permanently fused open...

[KyNola]

Not sure mine will move anymore either.  Glued pretty much wide open.

[Quarlow]

Wide open for poultry and at least half way open for everything else. I usually have mine 3/4's also.

[lumpy]

I removed mine in the Hotel Bradley.

Wide for mine !!

[beefmann]

3/4 to full open

[TestRocket]

Open all the way all the time. One less variable!

Here is a guide that may help zero in on your vent settings.
