    noob question - do I need smoke all the time I am cooking?

    Hi all I forgot to take pictures - New Years day, we smoked a pork loin, using the ideas you all gave me, and it was awesome. Very tender and juicy and just the right amount of smoke flavor. I think our meals in future will be a whole lot better. :) Thank you all. --Lakewood.

    Hi pineywods - I'll look closer at the minion method. From the quick look I had this morning, I think it will be another improvement. --Lakewood.

    Ah, another thing I am doing wrong .... I am adding wood and closing the door. And yep, I do see white clouds of smoke, not only out the chimney, but also swirling around in the cooking chamber. Here's how I have been smoking: 1. light charcoal in a charcoal chimney, 2. add unlit charcoal to...

    noob question - do I need smoke all the time I am cooking?

    Hi pineywoods ....I use a wired set of thermometers - one in the cooking chamber, and then one in each piece of meat (if I have more than one in the smoker at a time). I've calibrated the thermometers by checking them against a known temperature, and then make compensation for there...

    noob question - do I need smoke all the time I am cooking?

    Ah - thank you all. I think I am seeing the error of my ways. - I can see a solid stream of white smoke billowing out of the chimney. That much smoke is, I now see, way too much. I am planning on smoking some pork loins this weekend - I'll cut back on the wood I'm adding and I'm sure my meat...
