Stampede No smoke coming out

[Armando]

New to smoking with the pellet grill and currently smoking a Boston butt, but I’m not getting g any smoke at all coming out. I mean none. Is this normal?
What setting create more smoke. I have mine at 225f

The lower temps produce more smoke. Lower the temperature to 200 or "LO". Also, another brand of pellet may produce more smoke.

Get a smoke tube it will put out some smoke no matter what temperature is your cooking at.

A digital thermometer inside cook chamber to verify actual temp ? ? ?
Maybe running hotter than temp indicating. As mentioned, smoke tube. I use on just about all cooks. 6" tube buys you about 2-3 hrs additional smoke

I've been using a 6" tube and have gotten years of smoke. YMMV!

Normal for me at 225 is it cycles, smoke for a while, then none. When I want more I use a tube. I did find just the other day the tube works better with splits of wood in with the pellets.

Yes lowered it to 210 and getting some smoke comes and goes. Not used tok pellet smoking.
I will consider the tube once i see how this comes out. What brand pellets you all use or seem to favor?

I always get smoke at 180.

I use the Rec Teq pellets. You can order them from Amazon and they work great for me.

The RT are ok, I switched to Lumberjack/$9.99 and Bear Mountain/$8.99

I’ve had good luck with Pit Boss pellets. Recently I used Weber brand and it seemed good too. Also, if you’re used to a stick burner then you’ll be disappointed with the amount of smoke from a pellet grill. As others mentioned, you can add a smoke tube and that helps.
