Sorry to bring up an old thread but I have a related question which seems appropriate here.
I sometimes get continuous white smoke from the briquettes (K-blue) using the Minion method. Am I doing something wrong or is it the briquettes?

What works for me on the kettle for low and slow is to light almost the entire chimney and then choke it down to desired temp.

Thanks!
