Smoke puffing

I'm cooking pork shoulders and after I got the heat stabilized at about 230 deg. the top vent started puffing like a choo-choo. Then the bottom intake vent would occasionally puff out smoke. It quit after about 5 minutes but I've done at least 20 cooks on my large egg and do not recall seeing this phenomenon before.

    If it was used charcoal I have seen that when it hits an area that had some drippings on the coal.

    Sounds like wind it blowing into the top of the egg.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.
