Page 18: Building A Proper Fire For Good Control
ELIMINATING LARGE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PIT TEMPERATURE Normally the DigiQ DX3 will be able to adjust the airflow via the fan to deliver precise control and no damper adjustment will be required. If the pit has become over-fired or if the fire was built too big, large temperature swings (+/- 10 degrees or more) may occur. -
Page 19: Fan Damper
Fan Damper With a fan-controlled firebox, you need to be able to adjust the amount of air being blown into the firebox. In addition, natural draft may affect cooking temperature when the fan is off. While arriving at final settings requires testing and experimentation, as a general rule it is good to start with the slide damper fully open on offset and large cabinet pits, halfway open on medium-size vertical or cabinet pits, and one-third to half open on kettles, bullet, and ceramic pits. -
