When I first got it I didn't even have to pull the dumper. I thought "this is great!". I keep the pellets in dry garage so I think they are absorbing the moisture.

BTW I put 5# hunk of balony in there @ 225 for bout 1.5 hr and just dumped Pecan chips in twice ...once at first then again about 45 mins later...The first time I tasted that my knees buckled it was so good!

Try some boiled eggs.
