I have a neighbor who pulls his Lang offset out of his garage every three weeks and fires it up. He does this whether he is cooking something or not. I asked him why and he says that moisture builds up in the smoker and he wants to keep it burned out. He said that he started doing this after his smoker sat up for about three months and he went through the same thing you describe above. He said that it not only affected his smoke but that the entire smoker smelled like it.

could have... it lives in the garage by order of the matriarch of the house but it's not exposed to direct moisture outside of what's in the air

You never said what type of green wood you used. I've hard green fruitwood is ok, but not mesquite or oak. By chance did you have a lot of gunk from your last cook in the fuel pile?

I generally let my pit burn for a while prior to putting food on as well. Both to help sanitize (I don't cook everything in pans) and to burn off any remaining old drippings. When the smoke is thin and blue, it's time to start cooking.
