Jay, Notice that no drip pan was used. There was a good combination of steam and smoke for the first few hours. After the stall, it is my belief that is when the bark began to form.
Dave, I was surprised to find that there was very little detectable sweetness in the final result. I will try a 1x1 water to juice on the next one just for comparison purposes, may want to eventually go to 1x2. I will keep the salinity at 30% as it was spot on.
