How often do you have to add wood to an offset smoker?
Chef's answer
The color of the smoke tells you how clean your fire is." You can now throw on your meat. Until you are experienced with your machine, check the temp every 15 minutes or so. As the logs burn down continue to adjust the airflow with dampers and add a new log every 45 minutes or when you see the temp start to dip.
