Smoke flavor (propane vs pellet)

[nursewizzle]

I currently have a GMG pellet cooker. Easy to use, set it and forget it... Right. I have had problems with auger, and other things. I can barely taste any smoke in the meat. Would I get better smoke from a propane smoker using chips or chunks? Better bark on my butts?

How high a temp are you smoking at? I've read that if you cook at to high a temp with a pellet pooper you won't get a real smokey flavor.

I've heard that as well. No matter what temp I've tried I haven't really noticed any flavor.

Pellet smokers with tight temperature control only feed two, or three pellets at a time to maintain temperature once they have reached their set point. However, many of the newer ones have a smoke setting that allows the temperature to drop 10 degrees, then adds several more pellets at once to get back to set point. The more pellets, the more smoke, the more flavor!

Don't understand pellet smokers I can see some great advice here and for sure a amaz-n-smoker will help.

The addition of a a-maze-n smoke tray or the like to your pellet pooper will flavor better IMHO that a propane cooker and wood chips.

I don't have the maze but I have the tube and I add it to every cook. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
