Reply to "Too much smoke"

MountaineerMember

I have the SM025 and have done maybe 6 or 7 smokes, ribs and butt. I cannot do a smoke without the creosote taste. The last 2 smokes I only used 1oz of wood. One was hickory and the other apple. While the creosote taste was less than when I used 2 or 3 oz of wood, it is still off putting. That taste should not be there at all. I am at a loss on how to use this smoker and get a clean good tasting smoke without the creosote taste. Before upgrading to the CS smoker I used pellets on my grill as a makeshift smoker and I got decent smoke and never got the creosote taste. Everything I read talks about the need for air flow to prevent creosote and there is very little airflow in the CS smokers. There must be a way to get good results as the company has been around a long time but I haven’t figured it out yet..
