    All smoke the same?

    Hey, noob here. If I’m smoking mostly at 225 and the wood chunks are producing mostly white smoke is there really much difference in the different wood flavors to the meat?

    Here, read this article from Meathead over in the free part of the site, great information;

    Learn all about wood smoke and how it adds flavor to BBQ. Find out whether you should be using wood chunks, chips, pellets, logs, or sawdust in your cooker. Discover the truth behind the claim that different woods have different flavors.


    and welcome from the great State of Texas !! Been to Vancouver Island one time and found it beautiful !!!

          Hi, I’m running a gas fired Smoke Vault

        The kind of smoke ABSOLUTELY MATTERS!

        As you read in that article from our beloved Meathead , you want to have enough heat and airflow to get a cleaner burn on the wood, and those beautiful wisps of blue smoke.

        I'm not familiar with your smoker, but you can do what I did: experiment on your setup until you get prettier smoke. When I did that, my food started tasting and looking (smoke ring) better!

          I understand that different woods create different flavours but if I'm cooking low and slow I can't produce the heat to get that elusive blue smoke. I'm soooo confused!

          Wonderful issue you bring up, Heip. The solution is your Fuel Size. To burn a blue smoke on a small stickburner, you must burn smaller logs! The Kindling Cracker allowed me to do this! #BlueSmokeSnob

          Just got my backyard 2 weeks ago and LOVE it. Pork belly twice, a butt, a brisket and some ribs last Sunday, yesterday smoked burgers with great color/flavor to them. So the real question is... Which size Kindling Cracker and length logs do you start off with? I don't have a go to place to grab good wood so I've been using B&B from Buc-ee's, about 10" long post oak with fairly good success.
