Is the exhaust vent fully opened?
Tart and bitter I would think ............ but if that's what you like by all means, go for it!
I would like to see how the meat taste? That much smoke could make the meat tart.
Don't be discouraged, there are many products that can be smoked with what you are showing. We don't even know what is in the smoker, if anything. Could it be you are running a test on your setup?
Keep in mind, the more white and the heavier the smoke, the less time in the smoke a product requires and the less forgiving it is. You wouldn't want to smoke anything for a long period using that smoke, but for example, a plate of cold shrimp could benefit from it.
Maybe the following will help explain. Smoke Color Chart, Smoked Bread,Crackers and Snacks

Fantastic, I'm sure the mod helps in those regards.You are correct there is actually nothing in the smoker in that picture. Although that is how much smoke there is when I am smoking something so really that's a moot point. As for the meat I smoke I have never had a problem with taste at all. It all tastes fantastic.
I see nothing wrong with the smoke buildup inside your MES. My MES 30 doesn't have a window but when I need to open the door a bunch of smoke comes out and I think it's perfectly normal. I use the AMNPS and keep the top vent wide open. I get TBS out of the top vent. My food is never oversmoked so I know my MES is working properly.
As long as you enjoy what you cook that is all that matters. There will always be someone that does something a different way and swears that their way is the only way (which I am guilty of doing on plenty of occasions).Exactly. My food tastes great so I'm going to keep doing what I do. I'm getting personal messages now telling me I'm over smoking my food and I'm doing this and that wrong and honestly it's getting really annoying. I understand some of you people have been smoking since before I was born and I thank you for all the help. With that being said, if I didn't ask for your help please don't offer it. I know to an extent what I'm doing and what I want my food to taste like, and the way I do it tastes great to me and my family and friends. I've never had a complaint about my food. Please don't just send people messages telling them what they are doing wrong and what they should be doing, it's rude. Nowhere in this post did I ask for anyone's comment of if it was too much smoke. I just thought the picture looked cool.
The #1 indication of oversmoking is where the smoke overpowers the food and leaves a harsh taste. I know this because that's how my smoked food tasted the first year I used my MES 30.Exactly.
