It’s a good smoke, it’s going to start getting a little clearer the hotter it gets. Bad smoke is equal to the announcement of thre death of the pope analogy

Good smoke to get the meat on

“White” smoke is so thick, its hard to see through.

Best test that I have found is to smell it. If you fall in love with the smoke, add the protein. If it makes you gag…wait.

Drum smokers usually produce white smoke because of the fats dripping directly on the coals. Just keep the volume of smoke low and you will be fine.

With drums, kamados, and kettles, don’t worry too much about seeing a little white here and there. If you see creamy looking smoke, worry. See through smoke, don’t. Using the minion and snake style methods, there’s always going to be new pieces of wood igniting which have a whiter color, and also meat dripping onto the coals produces a whiter color. You’re good. Smoke that shit!

Looks good to me.

For my WSM and BGE, I plan an hour from lighting to getting the meat on; a little more if temps aren’t stabilizing. For charcoal, you kinda gotta throw out the “wait for the thin blue smoke” rule.

You are fine with that let it ride and adjust the smoke intensity to your liking next time.
Smoking is an art so tweak as needed.

Smoke color is subjective and doesn’t indicate much. Focus on keeping a steady low temperature and using a quality hardwood that you like

That white smoke means you have a coolant leak, going to be an expensive fix…

Your new Pope is cooked.

Using a Weber Kettle, I never worry about the smoke color, only the temperature and the end product. So far, my “end products” are pretty good.

That means you just elected a new Pope. Congrats

It’s fine. I have this same smoker. If it starts chugging like a freight train thick yellow/white smoke then you should worry.

Great grill/smoker we have the same one

Habemus papam!

“Blue” smoke will actually look blue. But this looks fine for cooking as long as it doesn’t smell acrid. A little hotter and it’ll clear up even more. What you don’t want are clouds. ☁️

Throw some meat on brother you’re over thinking it.

I never remember, is it white smoke for the new Pope?
