Hey guys. I am not sure if this is in the right spot, but I guess I will find out soon. My name's Kyle and I'm from Northwest Iowa. Which doesn't mean I quit smoking in the winter time. I personally think its the best time.
I have smoked for the last several years on a Masterbuilt digital/electric smoker where I needed to feed wood chips myself in. I have gotten pretty good at what I was doing with this.
Our grill took a dump on us, so I thought that I would buy the Green Mountain Daniel Boone and sell the Masterbuilt. As of right now, I am glad I have not sold the Masterbuilt because the Green Mountain is not giving me the robust smokey flavor that I have gotten with my Masterbuilt. I have tried three different type of pellets, 2 were a hickory flavor and 1 was a blended flavor (Green Mountain, Lumber Jack, and a brand I can't remember). I also am not seeing any smoke or at best a very small amount of smoke coming out of the stack. I have also used a smoke tube thinking this would help and it helped a little, maybe, but it was still nothing like my chip smoker.
So here are a few questions. Is there going to be that big of a difference between a chip smoker and pellet smoker? Is there anything that I can do to get a better smoke from my Green Mountain (Doubt I will sell it. The food is amazing. I will just keep the other smoker).
Thanks in advance for the help and advice.
