New FEC100 owner - Frustrated over the LACK OF SMOKE!

Former Member

Hi Folks, Curly In KC here. Newbie to the group but not to smoking. Been competing for almost 10 years.

Got my FEC100 Friday and have cooked every day since then and have yet to cook something that tastes smokey! I've tried dropping the temp to 174 like some suggest. It puts out a lot of smoke but at that temp the meat doesn't absorb much. I've tried adding a foil packet of real wood chips inside the smoker as well. Nothing.

I bought this unit to use on our Mobile BBQ truck here in KC but now I'm asking myself if I have made a 4 THOUSAND DOLLAR MISTAKE!

You just can't have SMOKED meat without the SMOKE flavor. Somebody help me, PLEASE!
