I did the mailbox mod. I’ve tested it with no food in the smoker just to see how the initial setup worked. I’ll come back to that another time. What I really want to understand better is why exactly the mod exists.
Based off my own research and reading on these threads. The mailbox mod is intended to get your source of smoke away from your meat. Allowing any creosote to build up in the mailbox and ducting and not on your food.
Is this correct?
Now that I’ve got the mod done should I clean the creosote from inside the smoker? Will it heat up and still find it’s way into the food I’m smoking?
If I should clean it that’s totally fine. What’s a good method? I’m clueless
Thank you for the warm welcome over the weekend!
