    Smoke flavor issue

    I have a large electric upright smoker I built. Chamber is about 5' tall, 30x30 ish. 4" chimney. I use a Smokai generator for flavor. Chips and chunks.

    People always say no waterbath, how to stop drippings from burning?

    If I dont put a significant amount of water into the "drip tray" when smoking, It comes out in a big charcoal nasty mess instead of having delicious drippings to shred the meat up in. So how do I avoid that from happening without basically doing a water bath?
