Moisture. Olive Oil & all things that don't want moisture

[saltyflamessmk]

Morning!

I have a question regarding moisture buildup.

Running a custom built electric smoker. Fully stainless.
Venturi smoke generator.

I smoke Olive Oil, Olives, Garlic and Salt... A lot of it.

I have a constant buildup of liquid smoke within the smoker. Sometimes it's so bad I have droplets forming everywhere. It's a real problem when smoking Oil.

Any tips? I had to idea of running the smoker at a low temp for short durations but extra virgin cold pressed oil doesn't like any heat.

Any brainiacs out there willing to lend a thought?

Many thanks!

Air flow through the smoker...   air inlet and exhaust openings...   Venturi smoke generators make lots of creosote also..

Gotta agree with Dave.

Thanks for the feedback.

Makes sense. The stack is a bit small... Leads me onto another issue. With the openings for the exhaust being larger doesn't it allow too much smoke to escape resulting in a longer smoking time &/ using more wood?

Thanks gents

Having good air, flow through the smoker, makes for "clean" smoke and improved flavor to the meat...
