Been smoking with a Brinkman Vertical Water Smoker for about 3 years now. One consistent problem I have is my food tends to be heavy on the smoke. Did a bone in turkey breast tonight and family raved about, admittedly it was quite good. Smoked for about 4 hours and finished in the oven...........but it wasn't the mild smoke level I was shooting for.
Was curious if others have ran into this? What are common mistakes newbies make? I definitely have a hard time maintaining a steady temp. After about 2 hours it shoots down and I end up loading it with charcoal trying to get the temp up. I have a feeling this is a mistake, but can't find any good info to validate.....or Better yet how to keep it from happening. I am starting to think I should I need to drill mor holes I the charcoal pan and just plan on adding about 10 coals per hour.
