I disagree. Once the temp hits 310 to 350, the fire is very efficient, and there is almost no smoke. This is great for bringing meats up to temperature. Then, 250ish to 300/310, there is that blue smoke, which is great for a mild smoke taste. But is you're someone who enjoys a deep clean smoke taste then from 200 to approaching 250 you get a white smoke. This for about 2 hrs on any meat will give a good deep flavor. Anything under that tends to give the grey smoke, which makes your meat smell and taste horrible. Thanks for reading and enjoy the flavor
@BleachedWheat I know you could use herbs for different flavors. So, a charcoal base for fuel and add herbs for the smoke. I've never tried it, though. I think the problem with using greens is that they have too much of a moisture content kinda like green wood.
