First smoke

[JAEBR29]

Well I got my first smoke in my used 18 wsm. Did a pair of pork tenderloins to reasonable success. They cooked WAY faster than I expected... Pulled at about 150 in around an hour and then rested for a couple hours due to my massive miscalculation on time. Smoker was between 225-245 the whole time.
I did struggle with too much billowy smoke. I never got the thin blue smoke.

Taste was pretty good still. Taste like it was cooked over charcoal. But maybe a tad too Smokey.

I had fun though. Practice makes perfect...

Looks like a success story to me. Welcome to SMF from NW Georgia.

Hopefully it stays fun too. Next up a pork butt. Thanks for the encouragement.

If its any consolation, I've been smoking for over 50 years I've had my share of epic failures but a whole lot of successful smokes And even now they are always fun. I did BBQ for my Grandson's wedding 100 people and had a blast
