adding wood

That's sounds about right. You don't need to add additional wood other than the initial 3- 4 ounces at the start of the smoking process. These smokers (Cookshack & SmokinTex) do not need to smoke during the entire smoke period. They are very efficient in this area and is not required. So a bag of wood chips/chunks will last a long time before you run out. Add your wood, add your meat with the temp probes, close the door and leave it shut.....these are very good tips and works every time......

good luck with your new smoker!!

I add it once, using chunks the size that Cookshack sells. The white, or dirty smoke goes away fairly soon and is followed by the clean blue or invisible smoke--which is the good stuff.

I've added more wood before during smokes, but didn't like the outcome nearly as much--and I like a lot of smoke.
