I've got the BBQ Grillware smoker that my wife purchased for me about 7 or so years ago at Lowes. I only really started using it last year, however and this site has been a great help!
I've mostly done pork butts and chicken on it and have a question regarding the flavor. I've had smoked meat where you can really taste the smokiness of it, however with mind, I can't. I mean, it tastes good, but it isn't quite what I'm looking for. I use wood chips and have alternated between hickory, mesquite, apple and cherry, sometimes mixing them to no avail. I just bought some pecan that isn't quite chunks (in my opinion), but are bigger than chips that I haven't tried yet. In any case, I don't want anything too smoky, but I do want to taste a little smoke. Is it a limitation of the smoker, or is there something I can do to get what I want?
Thanks!
