I just got the Bella Smoke Generator and predrilled door for my #1. Did a trial burn with generator filled about 1/4 full (just above the holes in side). Even with the pump turned down to about a 1/4 turn on, there is A LOT of smoke coming out of the exhaust on smoker. I'm not use to having this much smoke coming out. I'm thinking the smoke times are going to change because there is so much more smoke.
So my question to Bella owners with a #1 especially, do you get a stronger or more intense smoke flavor when using the generator or do the flavor profiles seem the same as using the smoker in original configuration? I don't want to ruin a bunch of cheese from over smoking.
BTW- so far I have a 20-25 deg differential between ambient air and inside smoker. (My MES mailbox mod has a 10-12 deg differential.) Might try to extend Bella away to lengthen the output tube to cool smoke a little more.
