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?

Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!
Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...
I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.
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!
Greetings from Louisiana

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.
