Why is smoke coming out of my product doors?
This is usually caused either by a leak in the gasket around the doors or by an air pressure problem in the smoker’s cooking chamber.
- Check the door seal and the sealing surfaces to ensure that the sealing surfaces are gap-free when the door is closed and opposite the door frame. If the door seal is broken, replace the gasket, if any part of the gasket surface is bent, align the surface.
- Check if an exhaust pipe with rain cap is connected. The exhaust air must be open and must not be restricted. The exhaust pipe must not be installed with elbows.
- The exhaust pipe must comply with the current regulations which your responsible chimney sweep can inform you about.
- The kitchen area must have a slightly positive air pressure. If the air pressure in the kitchen is negative, it can pull the smoke through the doors and / or the recirculating air outlet.
- Make sure your supply / exhaust system is switched on. Also check the straps and filters. If the AC system of the building has an economizer, make sure that the outside air openings are open and ready for use.
