So I recently got into smoking foods and bought an electric masterbuilt smoker. Little did I know that I would get sucked into it and research everything about this smoker and smoking in general.
During my first smoke sessions I quickly got tired of adding woods chips every 30-45 minutes and Not having the chips produce smoke because of the coil placement.
I moved on to the mail box mod with the amazen pellet maze. So Welded my own box out of stainless steal.
I found that using the wood chip tray port to hold the duct work, the coil would burn off the smoke coming through and I would have no smoke flavor.
I ended up cutting a hole on the bottom and porting the smoke that way but I’m still finding that I’m getting very little smoke flavor.
I also moved the vent to the other side and made it 4inches taller for better air and heat flow.
So my question is, how come I’m still barely getting a smoke flavor?
Is the coil still burning off the smoke or is there not enough air flow for the pellets to get a clean burn?
Should I re open the vent port in the other side and have two air vents?
When I cold smoke anything the smoke is way more apparent visually and in the taste of food.
I’m still very new at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !!
