Received my smokette yesterday :-)
Last night I put in 4 oz of wood and set it to 225 for 4 hours to season.
Today I went to clean it and found that the wood was dark, but only 1 spot on 1 chunk looked like it had burned (visible ashes). Smelled nice and smoky though.
The interior has a very light brown smoke haze on it. Still looks pretty bright in there.
Is this typical? Not sure what to expect. I just put in another 4 oz and set it to 225 again to see if I get similar results.
Is this normal for seasoning? How dark should it get? How much wood is typically reduced to ashes?
Cannot wait to get this thing seasoned and start smoking. I have a brisket covered in rub waiting to go in tomorrow. . .
Thanks,
Mike
