Hello From Ohio!

[bigheavyone]

greetings to all you pitmasters

. bought my mes about a month ago and have had varried success

. usually i rush things and thats when things go south

. anyhow just wanted to say hello and ask a couple questions.
1. do i need to constantly be adding wood for the smoke or is it ok to just let it cook in mes at the correct temps and add wood for maybe say half the cook time.
2. this has nothing to do with smoking but the forum in general , when i click on a topic or something i have to go to last page and scroll to end to see first post and read backwards to get to current post most forums show topic first and all replies after is there a way to fix this?
thanks and good eats too all

Welcome! As for the smoke question. You should only be getting thin blue smoke mot rolling white smoke coming out of the smoker. You can also "oversmoke" your food by using too much wood. I have found that small amounts of wood burned through the smoke give it a nice flavor. Some like it smokey flavored some like just a hint. Hope that helps you out.

Take the 5 day e-course, it is very helpful.
