Is this amount of smoke normal during a cook?

    Is this a joke? Does nobody read instructions before using their grill?

    Assuming it’s a pitboss, can’t really tell but it’s the same either way. Step 2 under ‘Automatic Start-Up Procedures’ is

    “Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the SMOKE position. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. This will
    activate the start-up cycle. The auger feed system will begin to turn, the igniter will begin to glow and the fan will
    supply air to the burn pot. The grill will begin to produce smoke while the start-up cycle is taking place. The barrel lid
    must remain OPEN during the start-up cycle. To confirm the start-up cycle has begun properly, listen for a torchy roar, and
    notice some heat being produced.”
