new smoker

[Habanero Smoker]

I have special blend, and do not use it much. The times I have used it, I have never noticed an "acrid" or "creosote" taste. The only wood that I get an after taste from is cherry, but for some reason my body can not digest cooked cherries, so that may have something to do with it. Try cutting down on the amount of smoke.

The special blend is a milder smoke flavor then the hickory, and especially the mesquite, so you should keep that in mind when you use those flavors.

I think Habs nailed it again!

I have learned when doing something different I tend too rule on the side of safety and smoke for a shorter period of time until I get a handle on my own personal taste for it.
