Bear, I have my 36" tube STUFFED with the planer shavings and it is giving off a nice light blue smoke as we speak.
It is inside a 5 foot aluminum tube to feed the smoke into the MES30c.
Seems to be able to smoke about 5 hours like that.
I have some "dried beef" inside now. It was TQ'd as per your thread, and because I found the last stuff salty, I soaked it for a couple hours to see if that would lower the saltiness. We shall see.
I also have some TQ'd buckboard bacon in the smoker too! I found the last stuff resembled bacon not at all, but more like a black forest ham. Good stuff but not what I expected.
I didn't put any coating on this latest meat so I can taste the basic flavours the TQ and maple make.
I am enjoying this smoking journey!
