I would like to see a qview of that smoker you have. I believe you must buy pellets which is the main fuel source for that type of smoker. The pellets make the smoke & come in different types of flavors so you can pick & choose your smoke flavoring.

Like meateater posted, less is good. But if you have none, then I would wait for a Traeger owner to show up & post to your thread, as I don't own one. I thought the pellets acted like wood with the smoke. But you DO NOT want white, billowing smoke coming out of your stack. If you smell the smoke, it is smoking. TBS is just a visual.
