Hello all! First time owner of a smoker (SM25) EVER and so stoked to start smoking! So, I’ve been reading a lot of posts on here and some folks don’t preheat their smokers. They just load the meat and the wood at the same time. Is “dirty smoke” only a concern with charcoal smokers? Sorry if this is a dumb question

Cookshack electrics do not need preheating (some exceptions for specialty applications). The heating cycle is on full to start to get the smoke flowing fast. Also not soaking the wood (don't do this) means early good smoke. Be sure to season your new smoker before your first real smoke and do some searching or question asking here. Lots of folks willing to advise and help. Welcome!

I have a similar issue with smoke coming out of my kitchen heater every time I cook. Does anyone know what it could be? I hope the heater is fine as I am getting a guy from supremeductcleaning.com.au to come and clean the ducts in the house and some of them can look at all the issues the heater might have. It will be good to know that as well. last year one of them came to clean the HVAC filters and found a lot of issues that were able to be fixed. Now if he is going to see my heater and tell me what's the best solution would be amazing.
