you need to have those bottom vents open at least a little. Oxygen needs to be able to get to the wood; otherwise there will be no combustion, and therefore no smoke.
Yes, you need oxygen to be able to get to your wood to support combustion. Too much O2 and your chips/chunks will flame, too little and there will be no smoke at all. What you want is just enough to let your wood smolder and produce a steady stream of TBS. Again, this is just something that...
Yeah! Hickory and Mesquite will have a strong smoky flavor. Pecan is a nice alternative; still smoky but not as strong. Fruit woods such as apple and cherry will have a milder, sweeter taste. Just experiment until you find what works for you and your family's taste buds. Personally, I like...
More smoke is not better; especially lots of white billowy smoke. If you are producing that then your meat is going to have some creosote on it. The creosote will impart a bitter taste and a tingling sensation. I don't know for sure, but wouldn't be surprised to find out that the creosote...
Welcome aboard, my friend. You're off to a good start. Real nice bark on that there brisky, and the beans are looking good too. Post some more picks when you got the meat all sliced up.
Welcome Brew, and ditto what everyone else said. This is a great community to learn about smoking, and to pass on a little of your own knowledge and experience.
Somewhere on that smoker there should be a model name/number/serial number/etc. Take that info and do a google search of "brinkman name/number/serial number owner manual". You should find an online owners manual that will answer your questions.
Cool! Thanks for the info everybody. I was lucky enough to be buying my meat from a butcher who sold ribs sans membrane, but Costco is cheaper, and they too are also without membrane. What a happy day!
A welcome to my friend from the Bear flag republic from a dude in the Sunflower state. You're in a great place here if you love smoked meat. You probably dig the tri-tip, and let me tell you it's every bit as good smoked as it is grilled, roasted, etc. I'd be interested in swapping tri-tip...
O.K., I'm feeling really dumb for asking this, but are the "pork loin back ribs" on sale at Costco baby backs? The place where I usually buy my meat just calls them baby backs, but Costco wants to confuse me.
Feeling dumb,

Hey Now Aircooled!
Welcome aboard, you're in a great place for learning to smoke up some meat!
I loves me some tri-tip too. Smoked two of them last weekend. I'd love to hear how you do yours up. I usually make a rub of salt, pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, parsley, sage...
