So I built my reverse flow last year & it has been awesome. I’ve settled in on TBS by running wide open intake & adjusting heat by the size of my fire. As you would imagine, my coal bed is pretty small to maintain 225-250. I use 12” x 2” splits to achieve that & it works great, nice & clean. This is a 24 x 40 barrel with a 24 x 22 x20 fire box by the way. Food always comes out killer, but is lacking smoke flavor IMO with such a clean burn.
Thinking to close the intake down some for an hour or 2 initially to let my splits smolder a bit (obviously lowering temps), then getting that clean burn going to cook the meat.
Anyone smoke their cooks like this? Does it help with upping the smoke flavor without tasting bitter? Thanks for any info!
