PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT SUGGESTING THAT YOU MODIFY YOUR COOKSHACK SMOKER IN ANY WAY!

That being said, this weekend I did drill 4 more holes directly over the heating element of my CS Elite's woodbox and put in a brisket. I did notice about 50% more smoke generated, and the smoke looked thicker than the somewhat wispy clear-ish smoke that I am accustomed to. At the end of the smoke all of the wood (4-6 ozs mesquite) was reduced to white ash and more importantly the brisket was fantastic. It had a deeper, richer smoke taste than any I had done in the 6 months that I owned my Smokette. My wife also noticed and kept asking me what I did differently and saying that it was the best ever.
Was this just a fluke?... I dunno, maybe. All I'm saying is, it didn't hurt anything, and I'm EXTREMELY pleased with the results.
