Reply to "wood won't smoke"

I know it is a sin, and it increases cooking time, but try opening the door and letting some heat escape. The element will kick on to bring the smoker back up to temp and will heat the wood chunks to the smoking point again. I assume it also releases moisture and increases oxygen levels...but I'm just guessing. I found out, by accident last evening, that this increases the wood combustion rate in my SM025.

I also read on this forum that you could dry out wood chunks *in your smoker* by setting it to a low temp.
