Best Answer

Have you considered trying different types of hardwood for your smoking? Some people dislike the flavors of particular hardwoods (e.g. I'm not a big fan of mesquite, but I think that cherry, oak, and hickory are delicious).

Also, consider this: What are you smoking? In this case, size matters. Depending on how large the portions you're smoking are, you may be able to reduce smoking time.

Do you get more smoke with vent open or closed?

The open vents will draw smoke from the charcoal and wood below so that it swirls over your food and out the top properly, giving you the best ventilation and the cleanest smoke. If the fire gets too hot, close the top vent almost all the way.
