    First Try, What went Wrong?

    Smoke ring

    Reflect You do not have to go any heavier with the smoke to get a good smokering and you risk an off flavor by doing so early in the cook. Take the meat straight from the frig to the cooker and let the meat take it's time reaching 140 internal and you should be fine. Also briquets work better...

    Soak the wood?

    There is never a need to soak wood, if your using chips when grilling make foil bag fill with chips, seal and poke a couple holes in the bag. The chips won't burn and last longer than soaked chips.
