First Smoker and Question
First Smoker and Question
I inherited this old fridge turned smoker from my brother, who passed recently. He was the smoke master in the family and I would like to continue the tradition. Please bear with me as I am somewhat new to smoking. I took his design and added a pid unit to control the temp and element, and also added a smokedaddy big kahuna to have the option of cold smoking. When I tried it out a few days ago, I noticed the smoke in the smoker was yellow and heavy. I tried it both with the air pump on high and low with the same results. I used wood chips purchased locally that state they are good for gas or electric models. I am assuming I need more airflow? Any hints or am I just paranoid? I am looking to make and smoke some summer sausage this weekend for my family and I would hate to ruin the flavor. Thanks everyone.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
I have Smoke daddy for 4 years - mainly got it for cold smoking. Works perfect ... if you have too thick smoke - you need to allow air to flow. When I started the same was happening for me ... Generator needs to "warm up" or just be hot to touch , only then you will be able to softly regulate smoke flow. my version did not had even adjustable pump, so I got some cheap power adjuster from lowes and it did the trick ... now cold smoked tenderloins, loins , mozzarella and salmon lox is a breeze to do ...
