I have a newbie question here.. I am using my Smoky Mountain Series smoker for the first time. I put some ribs in a little over an hour ago. I am using some Jack Daniels oak chips. I soaked them in water for around 30 min before starting up the smoker. After the smoker got up to temp the smoke really started rolling out of the the smoker, but now not much is coming out. I checked the cast iron pot that the chips go in and the chips were solid black. Is this normal or do I need to keep fresh wet chips in there the whole smoking process?
Thanks!!
