Hello All,
I have had some really good batches of barbeque but on at least three occasions I have had some batches that have a distinctive, bad taste. This bad taste is more prominent when the barbeque is warmed up in the microwave. It has also been present in both chicken and pork.
I'm thinking it may be that I didn't get the charcoal burning well enough before putting the meat on, or maybe I added too much fresh charcoal at one time...I use Kingsford charcoal and an electric starter so it's not from lighter fluid or anything...
I also have the vents open fairly well and don't think it could be creosote but since I don't know what creosote would taste like it's hard to say. And I haven't cleaned the smoker much other than the grills, and that has just been with common chemicals like dishwashing liquid.
I would appreciate any advice on what this may be....it's hard to describe except with the word 'acrid'....it has a somewhat charcoal taste..
Thanks.
Robert
