How much does pellet type play into temperature? I’ve only used Cookin Pellets in my 700. I’ve done a lot of slow cooks but also a fair number of crank it as high as it goes and exceeded 500 with ease. I can’t seem to get the grill up to 500 anymore. Almost an hour last night to get to 450. I was burning CP hickory last night since I’m out of the Competition Blend. The blend always produced maximum heat. Is it a coincidence that I can’t reach those high temperatures now that I’m out of the blend or is there more to it? Firebox is clean and weather shouldn’t have been a factor.
