I just fired up my new Smoke Vault for the first time this morning, I wanted to get it seasoned and then get cooking.
My goal was to learn how to regulate the heat during the seasoning session, become proficiant and go. I have my meat out and ready, I soaked the wood chunks for about 45 minutes, I have the temp at 230° - steady...
My problem; where the hell is the smoke? I put the wood chunks in the cast-iron holder, I heard them sizzle a bit and now nothing, not even a wisp of smoke. The chunks are now dry and toasty warm but they are not even close to making smoke... What do I do? I don't want to have smokeless BBQ. Please help.
