    Charcoal pellets

    I've got the lumberjack char-hickory and it's got the best flavor I've tried thus far in my camp chef woodwind.

    Help! Bitter taste!

    Success! Tried a new type of wood.  I got some pecan chips from a local store here, used .4oz then another .2oz once those were done for some chicken legs/thighs.  They came out fantastic! I've made sure to take the drip pan and place it on the ground below the smoker rather than in the holder...

    Help! Bitter taste!

    Thank you all for the advice.  This is quite an incredible forum. Today I cleaned out the smoker a bit, and I'm running it empty for a few hours.  It's amazing how much smoke is coming out with nothing in there at all.  ...it's TBS too! I'm going to do a few sausages tonight with .5oz of chips...

    Help! Bitter taste!

    Thank you for the responses. Unfortunately, the Smokin-it doesn't really have any dampers to open/close.  There is a small drain hole in the bottom - maybe 1/2" or less in diameter, and then about a 1" chimney hole up in the top of the box.   The smoke coming out of the top is generally pretty...

    Help! Bitter taste!

    Hi All, I have the Smokin-it model #1 electric smoker.   It seems no matter what I make, and no matter how much wood I use, there is always a bitter aftertaste to the meat.  I used 1.2oz of applewood for a couple racks of ribs.  The smoke flavor was pretty light, but there was a slightly...
