I’m trying to learn about blue smoke. From the pic you can see that I use a Hasti Bake and a Pit Master IQ (when I don’t have time to tend fire). I made the manifold for the Pit Master from a small loaf pan. If I load the fire box with 10lb of charcol and set it on 225, it will go 10 hours at plus or minus 10 degrees. I barely start one corner with a loof lighter and put 8 to 10 oz of chunks (usually pecan or cherry) across the firebox. I do start with some white smoke. Today I’m doing a 7lb tender at 225 till I get it to 130 or so. Then I will crank up the fire box a reverse sear.
After all of that my question does this method produce decent smoke or does anyone have ideas on improving smoke quality?
Thx and have a great Xmas and holiday season

I’ve not used that cooker…. But I’d use more wood in the first 25% of the cook…
10 ounces of wood is what I use to start my fire…
Someone that uses that cooker to smoke needs to weigh in…
Merry Christmas to you…
