Hey everyone. I'm currently smoking some ribs on my 22" WSM. This is my first smoke with this new rig.
My question is why do you think I am no longer getting any smoke? I'm now on my third hour of this smoke. I started today with the Minion Method. One hundred briquets, 3 fist size chunks of apple, one hundred more briquets, 6 6" long 1" sticks of apple, then topped with about 50 lit briquets.
My temperature has been rock solid (I must say I am quite impressed), but the smoke just ran out. Nothing floating up at all. I've stirred the coals gently a few times and that works for a minute or two but that's it.
I'm wondering should I be adding more wood along the way or is this to be expected and is normal.
Thanks for the tips!
