Such facts, I used to cook chicken curries on the Wok attachment on the KJ. And after frying onions I would put the chicken in and just throw a couple chunks of wood (totally oblivious to the whole clean smoke dirty smoke thing) and I got great results. Then I'd see kamado guys saying to let the wood combust first and produce clean smoke. Then I started doing that from then on. But honestly my food hasn't tasted the same with that burst of beautiful smokiness. It's still EXTREMELY delicious dont get me wrong. But im glad i watched this. I wanna just throw in the woods pieces like 4 yeara ago when i first got the KJ. I thought all along it was because I was iust used to the smoke flavor and that inital new shock of smoked food was gone. But actually its because my smokes have been way too clean. It all makes sense now. Great video and haven't heard that angle about keeping dirty smoke before

[@RumandCook]

Thanks! Yeah there is a trend for too clean of smoke for sure. 🍻

Good video. I'm on my third winter with my Akorn kamado and still learning how to control the smoke levels. Think I got it dialed in but this info would have helped that process.

[@RumandCook]

Thank you sir. 🍻

Good video - I don't see anything wrong with a lil dirty smoke. in fact I will often throw my meat on before the pit has stabilized just to get a little dirty smoke in the beginning.

[@RumandCook]

Yep nothing wrong with that. 🍻

[@SinisterMD]

Did you adjust anything on the Joe to clean up the smoke or just let the wood chunk burn away?

[@KamadoJoeGrills]

A must watch!

[@RumandCook]

Off topic Yoder YS640 question; would you recommend I smoke my Christmas brisket fat side up or down? Thank you, sir.

[@RumandCook]

Fat cap up on the top rack. 🍻
