    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    In one reply (5/23) I stated that it didnt look like my chips burned at all, so no it does not look like your picture.  The chips look the same as when I put them in at the beginning.  I do keep the lid on, it is the original chip box.  And yes I am ready to chuck it :) Steve

    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    SQUIB: I see you use wood chunks, I have been using wood chips.  Is that the typical amount of chunks you use?  I may try chunks next time. How much smoke time do you get with that amount of chunks ? When I use chips, I fill up to the top.  I'm wondering if I have so much in there that it...

    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    I think I need to open the bottom vents some more, I'm thinking that may be part of my problem. Thanks for all the suggestions, I have some ribs lined up for the weekend.  I'll try to get it down this weekend. I may also try a cake pan, I know you (coffee_junkie) had issues but I may still try.

    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    Thanks all for the suggestions... Just for giggles, I boiled water and put the probes of the ET-73 in it. It read 212, perfect. I was thinking that they might be off. Yes, the box is on the grid correctly. I'm wondering if there are too many chips in there, is that posible? I do load it...

    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    I just took the loin off, looks good. I looked in the smoke box and it doesn't look like any chips were used. I expected to see ash from the chips, at least some. Does this seem right? Still seems like something is amis. Steve

    Can someone guide me about the vents? Does the amount they are open have any affect to the smoke production?

    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    The loin is almost done, so we will see. Wondering if the TBS will give the smoke flavor, it must. I always thought more smoke is better. Learning alot here. Steve

    GOSM - Whers the smoke?

    Is TBS something you can see? I thought you should be seeing the smoke, but it appears I am wrong.

    Need Pork Tenderloin Recipe

    How long will at 5 pound pork tenderloin take to cook? I'm guessing about 4 hours assuming a temp of 225. Giuessing I'll pull it off when the temp reaches about 150. Gonna rub it, inject with apple juice and smoke it. Oh yea, I get to try out the ET-73 thermometer too, just got it. TIA
