Hello,
I have a RF smoker and I was doing about 350 chicken quarters on it last weekend for a Civil War reenactment. I could only fit about 125 quarter on the two shelves at a time. So I cooked them in 3 stages. The 1st stage came out beautiful but, then the next 2 stages it started dripping heavy creosote oil on the chicken. I have 2 smoke stacks,1 on the main chamber and another one on the warmer box. I closed of main chamber stack and then opened warming box flu and used the stack in my warming box. Same thing happened. Creosote oil came out heavy. I used lump charcoal and good seasoned hickory and cherry wood. I was also wandering if the humidity and condensation was a factor. Because I do notice it builds up condensation when it gets hot. Here is a pick of chicken on the grill (yes I did clean table after I shut door) and with door closed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sniltz
