Greetings fellow smokers, I‘m having a bit of a time with my new Char-Broil propane smoker that’s starting to irritate me, I got a good deal on this much bigger smoker $120.00 new. I have been using an Old Smokey electric with very tasty results. The water in the smoker is giving me fits, I have read loads of comments on the forum and I haven’t seen this question.
Before I put the meats into the smoker I place wood and hot water in the provide pan, when the water starts steaming I get loads of water dripping out of the unit at all the junctions seams. The unit will not reach 200 degrees until all the water is all gone, is this normal when using a water smoker?
I was thinking of drilling some holes on the side of the pan so more heat will enter the smoking chamber, now it has to go through the wall to wall water pan.
Thank you for your time
