I fired up my Silver Smoker this weekend and was working on fire control. I'm trying to better understand how air flow, heat and fuel play into getting as much a blue smoke as possible. I used Rancher, chunks and stix alternating during 6hr cook. I learned alot.
What I noticed was that when I would pop my firebox open on the side a bit to get more oxy, I would see blue smoke coming out of the firebox while at the stack end a somewhat more whiteish smoke would be exhausting.
Is it safe to assume that since I am having what appears to be correct combustion in my fire box, that the more whiteish exhaust is a result of smoke condensing in the cooler cooking chamber and that it is a suitable smoke? Thanks ahead of time for your opinions.
