Hi Guys,
I have been smoking for a couple of years with a charcoal smoker and love the taste. However, I would smoke for 4 or so hrs in the smoker then finish it off in the oven inside. Wife does not like the smoke smell in the house too much, so I decided to get a propane smoker so I could complete the job outside without too much tending...
Anyway, I was lucky enough to find a BB GOSM (after reading great reviews here) last week. Today the weather is ok (just above freezing, 6 deg Celcius), so I decided to break the smoker in and do some chickens.
Temp stays pretty consistant with changing the setting on the knob and vent dampers.
Here is my problem: I put about 4 large lumps of charcoal and 4 bricks along with lots of hickory chips. The wood eventually started smoking but the coal are still not smoking. It's been a couple of hours. I have not done the coffee can or the cake pan mod, but looks like I will have to.
I have a couple of birds in there and wondering how I can make the coals smoke?
Any help would be nice.
