Sorry to post this in roll call, but I am a newbie and did not know where to post a question like this. Where should I be posting general questions about smoking?
I understand a thin blue smoke is what is desired. Here is what I am getting. I use the Great Smokey Mountain propane smoker. I have a 6" cast iron pan that I load with chips/chunks. Smoker and pan have been seasoned. I have never cleaned anything besides grates and water dish. Once the smoke starts coming it gets pretty intense, not blue in color and comes out the seems of the door and barrels out of the top vent. I'd say it burns through the entire pan full in about 45min to 1hr in time. Temp stays very regular, chips are not catching on fire.
Does this sound normal?? Thanks, TJ
