Been using my Pit Boss Pro Series II a lot. I'll have to give your technique a try on a brisket.

How high is your vent cap set? I've found that playing with it makes a big difference in heat retained in the unit and how fast it runs through pellets.

If your looking at the stack....as level as my eyes can get, my hood (bottom rim) sits about 1/4" above the stack.  If you get back a few feet and get to the stacks level, you can see space between the two. 

What I have noticed with this smoker is....the temperature gauge is spot on and it will not fluctuate more than a couple degrees as long as your under 350 degrees.  When you crank it up above 350, it has a tendency to run away from you and really get hot.  If your gonna crank it up, you have to open that hood and really keep an eye on it.  It is a great pellet smoker for smoking.....  If you want to cook on it, you better off with a traeger, GMG, etc.

In preparation for spring turkey, I had to clean out the freezer of the last two birds from 2022.   Brined them for 12 hours, patted them dry, added dry seasoning and into the smoker they went.  350 degrees for approximately 1 hour to an internal temp of 160.  Let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing thin and eating with a little gravy.   Moist and delicious.   Should make great sandwiches for the next week or so.

Make my mouth water, how long did you smoke that for?

My grandpa use to take his already smoked pork belly and drop the pieces in a deep fryer. OMG it was so good!
