Got my new 5D Wi-Fi up and running, got it the day before Thanksgiving. Attached the Bella CSG. Did a trial smoke a week or so ago, summer sausage and snack sticks. Tried to light the Bella, using hickory pellets. Had the air pump on lowest setting. Flames came out of the side hole where you light it, smoke started and then went out. I think the holes in the lid were closed. Tried a couple more times and same result.
This week did 1st real smoke, snack sticks for Christmas gifts. Taking no chance, put 3 hickory chunks in the wood box. After the initial drying hour, tried lighting the Bella again. Different combinations: lid holes closed with low air, lid holes closed no air, lid holes cracked open low air, holes cracked no air. Live in So. Utah no humidity still in the 50s-60s dry. Dry fresh pellets.
Anyone have the proper “setting, sequence” to get it working?
Thanks, Craig
