well after a short break from memorial weekend we decided to do a last minutes smoking yesterday

just some potatoes and boneless pork chops

here are the highlights





yea a little made it to a plate this time.

however after memorial weekend I have discovered that i need more cubic inches of smoker racks

but I will discuse that in another thread.

ps one question I used a mesquite hardwood lump charcoal I noticed everything had almost to much smoke flavor to it 

this is the first time I used lump charcoal.  So when I use lump charcoal do I need to significantly reduce the amount of wood i add for smoking???
 
I'm not a big Lump guy, but you can probably get away with just the lump without adding any wood.

If you got too much smoke flavor on such a short cook, you are definitely adding too much wood. I would try it without any wood at all to get a base line of your flavor profile for a similar shorter cook then tweak from there.
 
Looks great!  Glad things turned out for ya!

I am sort of leary of mesquite....heard it can be strong....I have over done it with Hickory before....never again.
