    Open vent Vs closed vent.

    New to smoking and smoker and having problems

    No I am not soaking them. I have heard that soaking them changes flavor and introduces more moisture. Is this accurate or should I soak them?

    Thanks for the tip. If the pellets aren't dry any tip for drying them out? Or should I just trash them?
