Proud owner of a vertical propane smoker. Instruction book to assemble product in packaging, but no instructions on how to smoke. When using wood chips, after having soaked in water, do you add more water to chips as meat smokes?
Oh boy another one who will soon have the bug. lol No, soak the chips and place them in the chip pan. As they burn down you can add more soaked chips if you like a more smokey flavor which I do. Maintain your temp at around 225. Pork butts will take 1 1/2 to 2 hours per pound.
Now that have the bug do a search on smoker forums. There is a wealth of knowledge and help available on the subject.
How do you adjust the temp of the cooker? There are no instructions at all included with this product. Plus it says in the assembly that it calls for charcoal. I was not told that it needed charcoal. Where do you place the charcoal? I'm totally clueless.How do you adjust the temp of the cooker? There are no instructions at all included with this product.
