I am wondering, would it be beneficial to put charcoal and wood chunks in the wood box on my smokin it model 2? I want to get some of that good charcoal flavor on my electric smoker and thought this would be a good idea.
I have heard of people trying something like a pellet tube, but they reported there was not enough air flow through the Smoke-it 2 to keep it lit.
I do add more little wood chunks every hour or so for two or three hours if I am doing a large piece of meat to get more smoke flavor. Too much at one time gives a bitter taste, spacing it out a little bit to keep the smoke light over a longer period of time works better for me. I buy the standard hickory chunks and split them down to smaller pieces with a screwdriver and hammer.
