When Do You Add Your Wood

[JRAiona]

I'm doing a pork tenderloin today and was wondering what everyone's opinion is on when to add the wood. My thought is to add it when I'm putting the meat on. What are your thoughts?

I've always done it that way.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

As soon as the smoker gets up to temp and you're getting ready to put on the meat.

That's pretty much what I thought. Thanks so much Cliif.

Ditto. I like the cooker to be burning clean (no sooty smoke), then add the food and smoke wood. That way, all the smoke I see is from the wood I added.
