I understand that it only takes a small amount of wood to smoke something in the CS. My question is, if you are smoking something for say 8 hours, how long does the 3-4oz of wood actually produce smoke?
Thanks, Westy

In my experience, an 8 hour smoke will produce woodsmoke for the full 8 hours. It's really quite amazing. The smoke production from 3oz of wood in my cookshack continues for almost 10 hours. Others may have different experience.

I usually have wood left over, myself, RPM, and use it to "quick-smoke" a little something. Waste not, want not. I, too, am very amazed at how little wood she uses to smoke, for such big flavor. I LOVE my Smokette!

We dump the wood into a pail of water when we're done. Later, we throw it in the garden to dry out. We wind up with some nice charcoal which "colors up" whatever we cook next.

Thanks for the comments. After reading this forum and some email comments from owners, I ordered my Smokette today.

It was one of the best culinary decisions I've ever made, Tim. I suspect you'll be saying the same thing shortly.
Good luck.
