In my recent experience, not full enough will make it burn (motherfucker, burn). Too full could keep the food from reaching the core temperature (150, I think) quickly enough to kill bacteria. I don't think carrots will throw it off too much. Probably more of a problem if it's too full because you used too much meat.
