I just bought a RT-700 and cooked some chicken thighs on it to season it. Yesterday I went big and smoked 3 racks of baby back ribs. This is my first pellet grill and have only smoked on a WSM. I have always used a water pan on the WSM so I assumed I should/needed to use one on the Bull. I smoked the ribs using the 3-2-1 method and I placed the water pan right next to the interior temperature sensor. I think that must have given the controller a false temperature reading. It held steady at 225 for the entire 6 hour cook. At the end of 6 hours the ribs were only at 180, so I left them on for another hour but I could not get them to 195-200.. I have smoked ribs a dozen time on my WSM and at the end of 6 hours they just melt off the bone.
Could it have been the water pan placement or the water pan in general? I also sealed the lid with a high temp gasket to keep as mush smoke/heat in as possible.
