SM-150 flavor question

I run 3 different smokers depending on how much meat I need to cook. I have a Good One Pit Boss, FEC-100 and SM-150. While each has it's own cooking characteristics, I am becoming less pleased with the smoke flavor profile of the SM-150. I have tried using chunks, pellets, and most recently 2 of the dried cherry sticks as recommended by other forum members.

The meat off the 150 contains more grease smoke flavor than actual wood smoke flavor. Does anyone have recommendations to get a truer wood smoke flavor? I've tried covering the center of the bottom rack with foil to keep grease off the elements with little avail. I am hesitant to add a water pan to the bottom due to high moisture in the unit already. Would a pan of play sand maybe help?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Jeff
