Troble Posted January 16, 2022 Report Posted January 16, 2022 Nice review. Although I’m getting longer than 5 hours of smoking on mine. I’m currently at 7 hours with more fuel left to burn 1

I’m currently at 7 hours with more fuel left to burn Are you using pellets? After reading the review it appears that pellets will make the more of a mess than wood chips. It's easy to clean either way but I'm just curious as to what fuel you used.
Troble Posted January 17, 2022 Report Posted January 17, 2022 @johnnymnemonic I’m using the pellets that @tony b & @MacKenzie recommended Lumberjack grilling pellets. I got 10 hours of smoking yesterday used maybe 1/3 of the chamber….still a lot of fuel left 1
Marchitect Posted August 7, 2024 Report Posted August 7, 2024 I used my Smoke Generator for the first time over the weekend. I filled it 1/2 full with wood chunks. Even with the air pump set on high and both tubes hooked up to the pump, most of the smoke was coming out of the side circular vents (where you light the wood). Not much smoke was going inside the KK. Any ideas as to why?
tony b Posted August 7, 2024 Report Posted August 7, 2024 First guess is an obvious one - the smoke tube into the KK was blocked by one of the wood chunks. Did you have it screen side up or down?
dj-dj Posted August 30, 2024 Report Posted August 30, 2024 I am currently warm smoking salmon. With the smoker pump set to its lowest flow rate I have all the vents at the bottom of the KK closed and the vent at the crown open 1/4 turn and the temperature at the grill is 116-118 centigrade. I can’t get it any lower, the temp just crept up from 105 and I didn’t want to risk closing the top any more. The recipe had suggested 105 as the cooker temperature. I an assuming the smoke generator is pumping in a significant level of oxygen to the coals.
tony b Posted August 30, 2024 Report Posted August 30, 2024 Use less fuel. Just a few coals will do for a cold smoke of salmon. Plan B - heat soak the KK at the desired temperature for an hour, kill the fire, then put the salmon on with the smoker going. 1
dj-dj Posted August 30, 2024 Report Posted August 30, 2024 Also if anyone is struggling to clean their smoke generator there are cleaning agents for coffee machines designed to remove oily build up residues and they dissolve the tarry creosote type build up. Eg Puly Caff powder. 3
dj-dj Posted September 6, 2024 Report Posted September 6, 2024 Do people suggest wood pellets over wood chip for the smoke generator?
tony b Posted September 7, 2024 Report Posted September 7, 2024 I prefer pellets, as I have struggled in the past with keeping chips lit. That said, get good quality pellets that don't have a lot of binders in them. I like Lumberjack. Home of the Real BBQ Wood Pellets - BBQ Lumber Jack – Lumber Jack Grilling Pellets 1
MacKenzie Posted September 8, 2024 Report Posted September 8, 2024 (edited) I also use Lumberjack and like them a lot. Quite a few years ago I was lucky enough to find a dealer near me and bought what is turning out to be a lifetime supply. 👍👍 Edited September 8, 2024 by MacKenzie
