You could be right. The smoke was a little white. Not always the translucent blue/black that I was hoping for. I believe it smoked for 1.5 hours.

I didn't expect the small log to over smoke. This particular branch was only 2" x 6".

Should I allow all sides of the wood to become charred before putting food on the grill?

I normally add dry wood chips during the cook and haven't had any problems, so I assumed adding food while the log was not completely charred wouldn't be a problem.

So do you think the flavours I described were not a result of green wood?

Thanks!
