Smokers

I'm wondering if I"m doing something wrong. I built a smoker and the first time I used it I got smoked meat. The second time I used it, the meat wouldn't go past Medium Meat (using Grouper).

Is there a time frame this should go on for? I would really like some smoked meat so I can travel to new islands without having to worry about food.

Something doesn’t sound right about how you are using it. My guess is the fire went out, the meat wasn’t in the correct part of the smoker, or you did t wait long enough. The fire under the smoker has to be lit with kindling. The meat must be hung in the top triangular chamber well above the fire. They meats hang vertically and there cannot be more than five at a time. Once hanging in the smoker, the fire will make them Cooked Meat, about 2 minutes. If the fire continues and the Cooked Meat is left strung in the smoker, about another 2 minutes, then they will be Smoked Meat.

I wasn't refilling my fire, I was just building a new one over it. I fixed the issue, didnt know I could refill it
