Reply to "New AQ and bitter butt"

jay1924Member

You will learn to love your AQ. Just my $.02, but 3 oz seems like a lot of wood, more than I use in my AQ. My advice would be to dial it back to around 1.5 oz, and then work up from there in 1/4 oz steps. I typically use 1.5 - 2 oz for just about everything, and I like quite a bit of smoke. Also, you might want to check how much bark, if any, is on your wood. I've found that can also contribute to a "bitter" flavor. A little experimenting will help, I think. The AQ, in my experience, doesn't need much wood to produce a great product. Good luck!
