    Propane smoker results underwhelming

    100% agree with you in regard to "truths" in BBQ. There is so much junk and misinformation on the internet it makes my head spin. Also, there are many things in BBQ that are subjective, what works for one person may not work for me. I do appreciate your post and the article you referenced. Happy...

    Propane smoker results underwhelming

    Thanks for the reply. I solvef the issue by closing the out vent to about 25% or so. In regards to BBQ King Meathead, I've read his entire website probably 5 times and the article you referenced even more! It just took me a little while to learn about gas smokers, where the "heat" source is...

    Propane smoker results underwhelming

    So restricting the air flow worked. Still not as smoky as my offset but a fair tradeoff for the convenience of turning a knob and have my food cooked perfectly. I have to say, with the smoke issues aside, the gasser cooks food way more tender and produces consistently better food. My offset...

    I agree that the wood source matters. As far as that goes the apple chips are just Western brand and the chunks are from an oak tree that blew over in a hurricane a few years ago. Basically it's all the same wood I use in my offset when I have great results.

    Propane smoker results underwhelming

    I was thinking about smoke "concentration" today. Specifically that the production of the wood gases is definately much lower than when I use my offset. I'm thinking of closing the vent to about 10% flow. I'm thinking that will allow the lower concentration of smoke gasses to contact the food...

    Same here. Love the rivalry. 100 years! And I definately root for NFC north teams in the playoffs.

    Smoke definately is smoke and not steam. It actually smells like smoke. Even more funny is that I had to shower twice before church last week because I some of the smoke got on me! The wood is completely consumed and there is nothing left but delicate white ash powder. No black pieces left over.

    Propane smoker results underwhelming

    I'm using a combination of chucnks and chips. The chunks are oak and the chips are apple. Again, there is lots of smoke pouring from the out-vent and the food chamber is packed with smoke, but the food just tastes like it was baked in my kitchen oven at very low temps.

    Warner Robins

    Dang is Dyna Glo from Centerville? And how did you know about Centerville/Warner Robins? BTW hope you got the joke in the other post about Packers fans.

    BTW if you're a Packers fan, as a Bears fan I don't think I'm allowed to associate with you. 9/5/19 GO BEARS! ;)

    Propane smoker results underwhelming

    In my experience soaked wood doesn't actually smoke at all until the wood dries out enough to burn, and even then the parts that are still wet make the burning parts produce bitter smoke. So while the wood "lasts longer", the smoke that is produced is not as good as good old hot burning, dry...

    Propane smoker results underwhelming

    I don't soak the wood. I've always read that does more harm than good. I have not tried closing the vent. I feel like that would decrease flow. Yes the wood does burn after a little while. Some times I have to actually turn of the gas completely because the wood is providing enough heat on it's...

    Propane smoker results underwhelming

    I recently bought a Masterbuilt propane smoker. I love the idea that all I have to do is turn a knob and get smoke. I just wanted something easy to fire up on a week night after work. Unfortunately I have been very dissapointed with the smoke flavor of the food. I've done st lous ribs, salmon...

    Warner Robins

    I'm from Warner Robins, GA and I've been pretty hardcore into home BBQ for the past 8 years. I've read everything on amazing ribs.com about 10 times. I have a weber genesis silver series gas grill, an offset brinkmann trailmaster LE smoker with modifications, and just recently a masterbuilt...
