my little smoker has a smaller "firebox" attached to the side. from my knowledge, the fire goes in there, and the meat goes in the bigger box.
I tried the firebox method once with a rack of ribs and the smoker did get hot (225degrees) but it wasn't very smokey. I said hell with it and ended up grilling the ribs, because there was no smoke.
am I missing something? when i grill over wood i always have smoke because of juices hitting the flame, but when I have the fire in the firebox, i never see smoke.
what gives?
