Hello everyone,

Here goes my first post.

I have a ys640 thats about a month old. I’ve recently noticed on my most recent cook that during startup, a considerable amount of smoke comes out of the space that’s between the cart and the pit. Most of the smoke seems like it’s coming out of the backside and front side. The smoke goes away once it’s warmed-up around 135+ temp. I also noticed less smoke coming out of the chimney on that cook now that I recall. Is this normal? I’m not sure if this is something that I just haven’t noticed until now or the fact I may have a major leak.

Thanks in advance,
Rich
