Not getting any smoke?

[Ravrav7]

What is the first thing I should check? I I am smoking salmon tonight and pork belly tomorrow. I tried 2 pieces of alter, then chips. I am smoking at 180 now and still no smoke. Chunks are hot but not smoking. Please help.

Make sure you poked a hole in the aluminum foil. Use chips, slivers or shavings when smoking that low. The chunks should be fine for your pork shoulder @ 225.

 

[Pork Belly]

Use chips, slivers or shavings when smoking that low

Follow that recommendation in addition crank the heat and leave the smoker door open until smoke forms then close the door and set the heat at 180.
