Disclaimer: I will likely never cold smoke with this, I only hot smoke beef/pork with it.
I bought one of these about a month ago to go with my MES 30" first gen smoker. The smoker worked well enough, but adding chips/pellets every 45 mins was getting old. I thought I read somewhere that you could get the smoke ring with it?
Any thoughts on chips vs pellets with this cold smoking it? I have mainly used pellets with it, and have a hard time getting the TBS. I also leaves it with a sticky, clumpy residue inside the chip chute and leaves the cold smoking unit smelling like an ashtray instead of that sweet smell of hickory like I am used to before I used this smoke generator.
How do you clean it? Ive soaked mine in warm soapy water and tried to scrape off the sticky funk on the inside.
I want this thing to workout, the concept is so convenient. Im going to smoke a pork butt and a chuck roast today and want the best smoke flavor. Help?
