I'm sure that there is more than one, but this is the one we have in the 'Road Map' at the top of the forum... http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=15250
Basically, white smoke shows incomplete combustion of the wood and is bitter. Blue smoke on the other hand indicates good combustion and has (depending on the type of wood) a sweet flavor...

I'd also add that the white/blue smoke can sometimes vary based on smoker and outside temp.
For instance, I have a BWS (water smoker) ... when it goes under 45-50* it starts looking like an old coal train puffin it's way up a mountain from all the moisture within the smoke itself. But on a hot summer night, one barely sees anything coming out.

You just described the steam that comes out of a water smoker. on a hot night it will disappear. Smoke is different, and clean smoke is blue, an almost transparent, can't hardly see it except in a good light - blue

Is that manamana?
I love when I can barely see the smoke coming out of the kettle, when I have to sort of lean over and look real carefully, when that is happening and the kettle is locked on 250F, I know dinner is gonna be good.
