I got an Oklahoma Joe Longhorn offset smoker. I love this thing!
One issue that I am having is too much smoke. If I place a log in the fire box it will smoke like it's supposed to (thin light smoke), but after a while that same piece of wood will start to bellow out white smoke like crazy. Why does this happen? It was working just fine and then all of a sudden I've got a huge smog of white smoke everywhere.
Why does wood do this? Is it because the wood gets too hot? I literally picked this piece of wood up with some tongs and smoke was shooting out of all sides of this thing. I had to remove it from the smoker box for a minute.
I was using seasoned dry pecan wood.
