o_O:confused::) Induced draft.

My thought was to move the smoke a little so it wasn’t stagnant as long as it doesn’t draw too much to raise the temperature

That smoker has no vent problem

I'm wondering how it was 93 ° with only the AMNPS going. If the meat gets warm enough to create moisture inside the smoker but not hot enough inside to evaporate some and you close down the top vent, that will be a disaster. Meat gets stinky damp smoke on it. You will see black streaks or moisture drops inside the lid. Never good.

Some people say they rinse off their hams after longer smokes. Takes off the bitterness if any.

Oh.. I see now. Alabama. Ok.

Tall looks good my son built me one haven’t got to try it yet have some dried beef curing so hopefully will get to try it out this weekend

Yep it should do the trick.
I think I will also use this on my 100% cherry smokes for beef jerky hahaha. Cherry is one wood/pellet to keep lit at cold smoke or jerky smoking temps. This little assist should help keep the air flowing through the pellets as well since it creates a good draft but not too strong of one.

I'll know when I do jerky again with 100% Cherry... it's on the list coming up soon :)

Looks great Sherry!
So maybe next time 4-5 hours, depending on who's watching the clock. LOL!

I have one of these smart phones. Or in my case, smarter-than-me phone. o_O
It has a timer app in it. I can use the alarm to remind me it's time to check.
But also a stop watch part I can independently use, to start when I close the door.
There can be no doubt when something started, when it's time to flip, turn, check, baste, or what have you.... :rolleyes:
Keeps me honest. And helps me burn things evenly... :eek:

I do believe the smokyness will mellow with a little time. I eat my mistakes.

Now you can really enjoy smoking! :)

Yeah, about that 4 -5 hours...WORD! :D

Cut off a couple of slices last night (3 days after smoking)...not a whole lot of mellowing going on there!

Oh well, if I make a couple more bacon blunders, at least I'll be set for seasoning bacon for a while!

Soooo...whatcha tryin' to say there??? o_O

 

[SherryT]

Oh.. I see now. Alabama. Ok.

LOL! I've been in shorts and a tank for going on two weeks now! IIRC, the temp on the day I smoked was in the upper 70s/low 80s.
