    Smoke...making sure I get the right smoke

    Thanks...and the word I should have used is acrid...got it mixed up with rancid... So, on the white smoke, is is best to load chips, get them going, and perhaps 10-20 minutes later when smoke becomes clear, load the meat, or do most people smoke the meat while the chips produce the white smoke?

    Smoke...making sure I get the right smoke

    Smoke...making sure I get the right smoke

    So I smoked a couple of chickens the other day on my electric smoker with half cherry wood chips and half apple wood chips, 275 degrees, took a little over 3 hours. The chicken came out pretty good, but I did notice what I would call a hint of acrid flavor (said rancid incorrectly in first post)...
