OK so I've had an electric smoke hollow smoker(cheapo from menards) about 3 years. The smoker is basically a black box with some racks, a water pan, a chip pan, and a heating element with thermocoupler
At first I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, and no smoke at all. A few modifications later(put chip pan directly on heating element, using aluminum tray instead of chip pan, punching holes in smoker body, etc.)
And now I have the exact opposite problem, I get huge clouds of choking billowing white smoke. Which I know is not a very ideal situation. Ive attached a picture.
The top rack is for food,
middle racks are for the water pan and wood goes on an aluminum pan directly on the heat,
I have four holes punched in the bottom and one punched at the top.
What can I do to get rid of the white smoke,
I've also noticed that this thing incinerates the wood into a fine gray ash,
and I don't think that's a good thing.
Any advice for changes I can make would be appreciated.
Thank you guys.
