Update - I heard back from Traeger and they said to have the chimney cap all the way open so I’m good on that. I checked for air leaks and did not find any. I used the smoker last night, we had some good winds last night so it was a good test. I tried the charcoal chimney and it seemed to work good the smoker stayed lit for three hours and the temp stayed relatively consistent 15-20 degree temp swings. Based on what I’ve read that’s pretty good for the treager. With all that being said, maybe this is a dumb question, but what is the difference between the charcoal chimney and just lower the cap?
