Hi guys,
I am new to this whole smoking thing. I am using a brinkman electric Old school smoker (plug it in and go, no temp control). I know i need something better, but wanted to try this out first it was free. I am getting bitter smoke. I am using hickory in a cast iron skillet sitting on top of my heating element. Two chunks seems to only smoke for about 35 min. I could really use some advice, the meat comes out with plenty of juice, flavor, ect- except for the bitter smoke taste.
Thanks,
Jake
