Hey folks - happy Sunday.
I'm a relatively new smoker and have noticed a problem. My wood chips are burnt up every 45 minutes - hour, so I'm reloading those bad boys all the time. What am I doing wrong? I soak them over night so they're plenty wet.
I use about 2.5 cups at a time, and chips rather than chunks. (This was per the instructions that came with my Masterbuilt Dual Fuel smoker). Is this too many chips? And should I switch over to chunks anyway, instructions be damned? I have tried chunks before but don't seem to get as much smoke.
Thanks for any advice! I'm doing a shoulder in a couple hours, excited to get smoking today.
