Hi everyone, Merry Christmas! I'm new to the forum. I'm Jeff, and I've been cooking BBQ for about 20 years. I got a Traeger last summer, and I've liked it, but I've found the depth of smoke flavor to be lacking in comparison to the stick burners I've used. I've heard great reviews feom people who have added a Smoke Daddy to the Traeger. As luck would have it, my girlfriend got me a Smoke Daddy for Christmas!
I started cooking a turkey this morning. I started out with just the Smoke Daddy going for a couple of hours. The smoke output was great! When I turned the Traeger on to start cooking, it seems the air pressure from the Traeger's fan prevents the Smoke from the Smoke Daddy from entering the cooking chamber. I have it mounted on the back side of the pellet chamber, as low as I could get it, which is about 2 inches below the cooking grate. Has anyone had similar issues, and if so, are there any placement tips or tricks that can solve this?
Thanks, and I look forward to being a part of the community!
