Howdy all, I have a 30" smoky hollow electric smoker and have smoked, turkey breast, fatties and yesterday bacon wrapped filet mignons. The turkey and filets had an acrid bite to them, not nearly as bad on the fatty. I am using the Amps 5 x 8 tray with either
Todd's competition blend or camp chef apple pellets. The tray lights and smokes all the pellets without a hitch, I keep the temps at about 225 (bluetooth thermometer, not the gauge on the door).
From my readings here it could be an airflow issue as the unit as no vents anywhere for air in or out that I can see, which I thought strange. Would the mailbox mod be the best thing entering the smoke on the bottom and adding a vent on the back top? I hate to cut into this but gotta do what I gotta do. Or is the problem smoking with the pellets for too long?
