Tom Mason Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hi guys, got up first thing to smoke a shoulder today. Done it a few times over now and never had any issues but I seem to be getting rather alot of white smoke this morning. I'm using heatbeads (bought them a month or so ago) and 3 fist size oak chunks. Using sand instead of water too so its definitely not steam. I've attached a picture so you can see... any ideas?! Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedmus Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Possibly too low a fire or not enough airflow? I think you can get white smoke through incomplete combustion, I'm assuming the chunks are dry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Mason Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 Thanks for the replies guys. It seemed to sort itself out about 10 minutes after I posted and been fine since. Not sure what it was. Sand had already been dried out previously but maybe not completely?... just struggling to get this pork over the line now. Wrapped in peach paper but struggling now its at over 180. Got it to 187 but over the last hour its gone down to 183 again. Smelling good though!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
