Is there a limit to the length of hose from the mailbox to the smoker?
My first batch of bacon got way over smoked in my uds. I used my amazen tube with pit masters blend. I put it in the from with some bacon and cheese. Smoked for 6 hours. The first test fry was not edible. It was way bitter. I like smoke but I couldn't do it. I soaked for two days changing the water out regularly. It turned out better. We finished it off. I just pulled 2 bellies out of pops brine and am letting it rest. I bought a mailbox and some hose. I'm hoping with the longer travel time the smoke will cool more and not have the creosote taste. I have 20 feet of vent hose and was wondering if you can get it too long where friction overcomes smoke pressure. I guess I can adjust as I go. I just don't want to ruin more bellies.
Thanks
Jason
