If I don't get enough smoke flavor, I just pair it with a fine Islay scotch

Need some more information before I can offer suggestions. What protein were you cooking? Brisket. Pork Butts, ect? What temperature were you cooking at? For how long? What brand of charcoal and type of smoking wood (chips, chunks, pellets,etc.) were you using?

Just finished 2nd test same process as my last post only difference this time I used Royal oak. 1st hole 166. 2nd hole 200. 3rd hole 227. 4th hole 257. 5th hole 272. Dam close to yesterday I am convinced that that was a pretty solid I hope this helps are you 32 owners

Here are my test results on right vent holes. I started with a clean Komodo and a full basket of Rockwood charcoal.At 5 am I lit the Komodo with my torch to a softball size pile.I then brought it up to 200 quickly just to make sure coals where going good. I then closed the top vent to a 1/4 turn that’s where the top stayed thru the whole test. Starting with the smallest to the largest hole ran the first whole for 4 hour 168 degrees after an hour it settled at 168 for three hours.Then second hole 1/2 hour to get to 198 degrees held solid for 2 1/2 hours.third hole 1/2 hour to get to 223 then held solid for2 1/2 hours. Forth hole 1/2 to get to 252 held solid for 2 1/2 hours. Fifth hole 1/2 hour to get to 277 and held solid for 2 1/2 hours. I used a Thermoworks smoke probe the I place on top of the thermometer probe and wrapped it with a piece of stainless steel wire. Hell of a long test but for low and slow right side vent seems to be the ticket left side for grilling and baking. This was done on a B.B. 32. I hope this helps you all.
