So this is my second smoke with my Landmann 3895GWLA. I've got a whole packer brisket in weighing 13#. I'm using Todd's 12" tube smoker, currently with 50/50 cherry and peach.
I started with just plain Cherry but felt like it was dieing out. I've microwaved the pellets for 2 minutes, opened all dampeners, and still seems like it goes out.
I switched to 50/50 peach because Todd said cherry alone can be hard to keep burning. But even with this mixture I'm not seeing any smoke out of the stack. It is completely dark out and I only have a porch light so maybe I can't see the thin smoke?
When I open the door the tube seems to be smoking though, just can't see it externally from the box. Do you think I'm alright? I've got the tube right next to the empty water pan near the bottom, next to an open dampener. Advice Welcomed!
