Hey guys,
I completed my 3rd smoke on my WSM yesterday. 6 pound butt at 225-250 with hickory and Apple wood. My temp was very consistent and I really only had to touch the bottom vents after getting my meat on once. After IT hit about 130/140 I noticed that I was not getting that thin blue smoke you want to see. Temp was good, but no smoke. I added a couple more chunks of wood and that didn’t really help. I finished the butt and bark and pull apart went great but it was definitely missing the Smokey flavor. Why!?
I did have the water pan about half full so not sure if I created too much steam or what?
does anyone have any input that can help me out?
