Having probs getting enough smoke flavor, penetration, and gaining that all elusive smoke ring. Am starting to think that my humidity is too low. With my smoker, controlling temp is easy. What can be done to increase humidity?
I use the stock water pan in my XL and after a six hour smoke it is still half full or more. Since I'm a noobie, I'm curious how much water should evaporate off during a six hour smoke....should I need to refill that pan more often? Is the water pan too far away from the heat source (I typically smoke at 225-230).
Also, should the water be boiling to indicate it is at a high enough temperature?
Any help or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
