Hi all.
N00bl3t food smoker here. Just built and seasoned my Smoke Hollow PS4415 propane smoker and plan to cook some ribs tomorrow.
The manual said to do a 45 - 60 minute smoke at 300 which I did.
What it didn't say to do was to use chips or not to produce smoke. I opted to use the wood and two times they caught fire.
Should I be concerned? I know that the majority of my cooks will be lower in the 225 - 250 range and I guess I'll check to see if the chips ignite again tomorrow when actually cooking but are there any tips or tricks for this unit to prevent the chips from catching fire?
In fact, I only used one burner and one one chip box with the other burner off and chip box in but empty.
Thanks
