BBQ Forum,
I recently purchased a Smokette smoker - my first smoker ever - and was amazed at the taste of my first cooking attempt - 2 smoked chicken legs/thighs. But my next 2 attempts haven't turned out nearly as well, and in fact have been so bitter that the product wasn't fit to eat - though the dog loved it.
For the record, I used the wood that came with the smoker, and am not sure what it was.
Without giving all the details about the food I was smoking (wild game and domestic chicken) or the temperature range and duration, does anyone have any ideas about why my food has become so bitter?
Thanks in advance for the help.
