I'm right with you! The last time I cooked Beef Ribs on my PBC I had perfect bark, smoke ring, and doneness. Problem is they tasted too much like Charcoal and Wood Chunks! (I used a lot of wood) Ended up saving most of the meat for use in beans which was perfect. I've never had an "Oversmoked" piece of meat on my FEC-100 Pellet Pooper, and suspect that my taste buds have just adjusted. I only get this oversmoked taste on charcoal and wood cookers which is ironic because I own two of them!
Yep, I spent 20+ years cooking with charcoal/chunks. It’s just not the same after moving to sticks then pellets. It’s not that I don’t EVER like charcoal/chunks, but I don’t crave it very often like I used to. It’s just a much less desirable flavor profile to me now.
