How do you avoid creosote when smoking meat?

Chef's answer
To eliminate creosote you need to start with a clean smoker. A dirty, crusted smoker will help produce creosote. Then you need to make sure that you have proper airflow. If you have a small water smoker there probably isn't a lot you can do to hold in smoke or control how much gets away.
