OK, so everyone that has the same problem of little smoke at first, has talked about how it has come to pass, No one here has said how to fix this.
I've smoked 4 times including a butt for 8 hours on 225 until it hit an internal temp of 183*f. I put in 2 chunks of the wood that they included, no idea what kind because they never marked it (smells like hickory?). And after 8 hours the two chunks never burnt much less browned more than the bottoms.
How can I fix this? The chunks were in the front of the box.
