Hello all !
I am very glad you all are out here, kind of feel lost at the moment hope you can help. For a little background. Moved out to rural Colorado from the Chicago area. Not too many good barbecue places out here, forced to try and make my own. Bought a Masterbuilt electric and a accessory side smoker for it. I am not too thrilled with the results, but I did create some great creosote. I was lucky enough to run up on an affordable used "New Braunfels" Texas style smoker and did some modifications on it . Used this smoker once and the results were not too bad but I need some experienced advice I think. I am going to try again tomorrow. Not to be pushy but if I could ask one question now, I use charcoal for the heat and hickory chunks for the smoke. I want to stay away from the creosote taste, Do I let the hickory fire completely burn down first or can I smoke with it and still on fire, or do I choke it off till it is only partially burning??? Still chasing the elusive thin blue. Many more questions coming later. Thanks for the help Frank
