How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Be cautious of hot steam when opening the door.
Steps:
- Open vent fully: Ensure the exhaust vent is fully open to allow moisture to escape.
- Use drip pans: Place a drip pan under very moist foods to catch juices and reduce steam.
- Increase temperature slightly: Raising the cooking temperature can reduce condensation on cooler surfaces.
- Wipe down after use: After the smoker cools, wipe interior surfaces dry to prevent standing water and corrosion.
