Are you a pre burner or a toss a log in the firebox occasionally?
I'm a dedicated pre burner,you can easily get the thin blue smoke and if you want to go a little heavier you can toss in a few rare chunks.
I'm also a proponent of removing all the bark you can on the rare wood you toss in the box.
And to top that off it's way easier to regulate temps.
I would love to one day build a big brick pit and have a pre burn barrel that I could then shovel the hot coals into the pit!
All you need is a fire pit from Home Depot. I built mine out of a an abandoned 500 gallon propane tank....of course I got two of em and two fire rings outta of it.

lonnie mac lichens are that greyish greenish, sometimes orange or white algea-like moss looking stuff that forms on bark, especially in shaded or moist areas.
Been there done that, had some cherry that was smaller and not split and it smoldered and killed a brisket. Now putting them splits over the fire pot gives me perfect thin blue in my pellet assist stick burner.

Fire minimizes it fer me, so done, an' done...
Never had me no bad BBQ outta my stickburners, despite th' bark.
It may, most certainly, vary on other cookers, with other wood types, etc.; th' variables are infinite....
I appreciate yer posit... thanks fer sharin'!
