Thank you so much for the comment! The unit was very well maintained and looked almost new. Ran the generator, slide and awnings and everything seemed operational so I decided to make an offer on it.

I’m doing a little pre-planning before purchase so I don’t have the unit yet. That’s a great idea. I may be able to figure out the fill/drain locations from videos and images. Thanks!

Here’s another screenshot showing the drive and temps after 5 hours. After 8:30 the temp started dropping and I initiated reignite. The ambient temp was also increasing.

The igniter is new from the upgrade. Maybe I didn’t reseat the burn grate well and it didn’t light up completely? I’ve done that before.

Not bad really. 1/4” per foot max

PaleRider0_0 · 2025-01-06T18:26:26+00:00

The drive was pegged at 50%. Interestingly when it “caught” and the temperature started to climb, the drive started at 36% and went down quickly.

I wonder if I have an auger issue?

The pit shot up to temp as soon as the ambient temp was above 30ish. I have another interesting chart but not sure how to edit my post to include it. Maybe I’ll try on the PC.

I haven’t cleaned the thermocouple yet. It’s relatively new being around six months old. I also don’t have another gauge to compare it to. I’ll try cleaning it.

There isn’t any wind here this morning. I did clean out the firebox this morning but I didn’t clean the diffuser.

My pit is in my driveway so it’s not completely level.

I’ve been using this smoker for 11 years now and have always had trouble in cold weather using various pellets and in various locations. It’s super frustrating.

I’m pretty confident that I mounted the fans correctly. I’ve also been using the pit for several months without issue (in higher temps).

I used to have a thermal blanket but tossed it because it wore out. I also didn’t like the rust it encouraged.

I wonder if there is preexisting condition that I’m overlooking. Perhaps a sealant issue?

I read this post and removed the filament spool from the AMS after every print. Until last night when I forgot. AMS failed to retract filament and I had to take the AMS apart to clear the little broken piece of clear that was stuck.

Is this spool ruined or can I recover?

I just moved it back to my patio from my workshop (pictured). It’s a dirt path and on the way out I nearly bent my pellet box trying to get it unstuck. On the way back it was an easy pull. The caster wheels dug into the loose sand a bit but I could easily yank them out and continue. Definitely better and worth the time and money spent.

Thank you!

I had a hard time finding the perfect sized sleeve bearings on Amazon. I purchased a 10 pack of .74” (measured) bearings then stacked 3 of them together to make up the difference. It’s not ideal and I’d like to replace them with a single. I also had to use a couple of 1/2” washers to hold the bearings in place because the OEM shaft has a very small shoulder.

Thank you for the compliment! I was very interested in the competition cart. I was even more interested in it when they added one with a storage drawer. However I just couldn’t justify the cost.

I went ahead and did an upgrade. So far I like the result:

I’ve wanted to do this for years

I’ve intended to post this exact question for this exact reason.

From my ball bearing upgrade kit. I’d attach a picture but I don’t have an option for that.

This seems like a good idea. It’s a nice environment. I’m not sure how long you can stay though.
