Losing the SMOKE

[johnb]

Hi  I have a question about the smoke,  I have a Grand Cafe 3 rack gas smoker that I think works well.  I fire it up put in fresh

wood or chips  and I get great smoke at first but then as the wood gets charred I lose the smoke and get more heat.

My wood holding pan is only so big. Shouid I start  removeing  the smoke less charred wood and replace it with fresh as needed.

I have been trying to let the wood burn down to dust and add more wood on top of that.  I'm just thinking I'm doing something wrong.

I am not familiar with the Grand Cafe smoker John, some pictures of the set up showing the wood chip tray and where the heat source, damper and exhaust may be a good start for those of us that are not familiar with your smoker so we can give some suggestions.

I myself have resorted to using A-MAZE-N smoke generators in all my grills and smokers, they just work flawlessly and consistently providing a good quality smoke. http://www.amazenproducts.com/

My electric smokers seem to do the same thing, but from what I've been reading here, its that thin blue smoke that your after. With my most recent smokes, I have been adding less wood more often and getting good results.
