I may have received a bad unit. But, I have experienced severe drafting issues with my loaded Wichita purchased (6/2022). I have over 10 years experience with fire management and have never had the issues the Wichita has presented. Such as, tons of Smoke back flowing out of fire box, once the door is closed on fire box, the fire goes out shortly after, even if the damper is fully open. I have placed the coals center, back left and back right of fire box. Unit is inefficient, since the firebox door needs to stay wide open. burns thru splits 15-17min on average. Which is a nightmare on long cooks. I purchased a custom yoder smoke stack 2x the size of the original for $300 hoping to improve drafting, which allowed me to close the door a little more and extends split life to about 20min. Yoder claims splits should last 30-45min. Overall, it’s been a very frustrating experience, from yoder forgetting the grill grates to needing to paint my smoke stack because they forgot and I wishing I would have went with my gut and purchased the fat stackz or millscale. The unit is built solid and has quality welds but has to many operational design flaws. They’ve lost any future business of mine. FYI - I communicated my issues 3 weeks prior to this review with no response .
