    Mopping or Spritzing

    I use a rope style mop on my smokes, I have a hard time trying to clean it after uses. Is it better to spritz with a squirt bottle or to mop? Is there advantages to mopping versus spritzing? Just a small thing but I know it makes a big difference.

    Smoky flavor Vs. Smoke Ring WRT temps

    Thanks Smokeys. I don't want to carry on to much on this thread, but what about bark? I have been told to remove it as it will make the meat sooty, and I have had some tell me they cut it fresh and burned it green with bark.

    Smoky flavor Vs. Smoke Ring WRT temps

    Ok, I am going to ask a really stupid question on this topic. How does cooking with wood only not cause the over smoked flavors your talking about. I tend to use more wood to keep my fire going for longer times than just charcoal. I guess being a newbie I just don't get it.
