Hi SMF peeps.
I have an RF smoker that i built a few month back but I'm having issues with not enough smoke flavor. The first few time i cooked with it the meat came out great but something changed. I use straight wood when smoking, mostly oak maple & hickory.
When i'm smoking i warm up my RF to about 350 and let it settle in, place my meat in and cut the heat back to 220. Then i just sit back and let the smoker do it's work, adding a log in when fuel is needed. There seems to be a constant stream of smoke coming out of the stack.
The first few time i was able to get a nice smokey flavor but something changed and i can't figure it out. Does the choose of meat have to do with it, I know i've change my meat selection quite a few times? Could be that I'm not putting in enough wood, but then it burns too hot. Help!
