I've had the Smokin It #2 for about 1 year, coming from a Weber Smokey Mountain. It makes decent Qs, every bit as juicy as the Weber but I've always found the smoke flavor a little off. I use the wood chunks from Smokin It, two pieces wrapped in foil for ribs. They give plenty of smoky flavor but the flavor isn't quite right, probably due to the lack of thin blue smoke. The smoke is a medium thicknes gray. My Weber gas grill makes much better tasting Qs, but it's a pain to use. I'm not sure if it's possible to get thin blue smoke from an electric smoker. Can you share what you've done to improve the smoke quality?
