Searwood Not Reaching Temp

[NJKris]

Well, the good news is when I called Weber and spoke to woman in the pellet division, they are working on a solution for the inability to reach high temp. No answers yet, but this known issue is not being ignored. They fully understand how this is killing their reputation. I ran another test yesterday after a 3 hour trout smoke, using my K-type brand new pit probe I bought from Thermoworks for 100 bucks. Results attached. Aborted test 25 minutes after test start at 200°.

Look at my attachment on post #52, I have graphs of both ambient temps and smoker temps posted.

Apparently tomorrow Fedex is delivering a new auger/motor assembly. I already replaced this once, not thrilled with results. Hoping this one is re-engineered.
