Excessive condensation or water dripping from inside top of smoker onto food.

Safety first: Use oven mitts when adjusting vents during operation.

Steps:

• Open the exhaust vent slightly more to allow moisture to escape while maintaining smoke.
• Verify any internal drip deflector or top baffle is installed correctly to channel condensation away from food.
• Avoid placing very cold food directly into a hot smoker; allow it to warm slightly to reduce condensation.
• After cooking, leave the door slightly open during cool-down to vent moisture.
