Hello all
I love forums! I have gotten ( and given) lots of of advice on travel and hope I can learn something here.
I am a pretty accomplished amateur cook, including grilling . But I have never tried smoking meats. I just bought a pretty nice looking Weber Genesis grill. My son gave me a metal smoke box ( by Weber) and a box of hickory wedges. Hope to use it on some pork, chicken, ribs and beef - once I learn how to do it!

I have never tried smoking meat before. I just got a three burners Weber gas grill with a metal wood box and a box of hickory chunks . I soaked the chunks for 30 minutes and put them on the grill over the left burner and lit all the three burners on high. Heat got to 600 degrees. The wood started smoking white smoke. I turned the center and right burners off and turned the left burner ( under the wood box) sown to about half . The white smoke ended . When the temperature got down to 250 degrees I put the boneless pork shoulder over the turned off center burner. The temperature stayed at 250 for about an hour until I saw the temperature increase to over 500. I opened the lid and saw that the wood was flaming.
What did I do wrong?

My 1st guess ?
You had a grease fire from the pork and the wood ignited ?
