Meat smoking question

[TXbowman]

How do you get the blue smoke? Open up the vent to let more air in?
Also, I do let it burn down some before putting meat on but I then add more bricks as the first ones burn down.

What type of smoker are you running? And to answer your question about light blue smoke, yes, more airflow=better smoke. Thick, heavy white smoke is from a fire that is smoldering, and light blue smoke comes from a fire with plenty of oxygen.

Sounds like you might be suffocating the lit coals putting more on top of them

Mesquite wood smoke gives a bitter flavor IMO.

agree about the Mesquite Wood, giving a bitter taste at times,, I use Pecan and have better outcomes, as I also am no smoke pro..... smoke and learn type of guy..

How do you like your pellet smoker for brisket? Thinking of smoking one this weekend. What temp do your run and how long normally?

I love my Pellet smoker especially for brisket. 225 for an hour per pound
