I have a Silver Star Electric Smoker. Many recipes call for smoking food at 200 or 225 degrees. The problem is, I don't get any smoke at all at these temperatures. It's 83 degrees outside, and I just placed two racks of ribs in the smoker with some mesquite wood chips. I let it go for over an hour at 225 and no smoke. I checked the wood chips and they were not burning. I normally have to jack up the temperature to 275 or 300 to get the wood to smoke, which defeats the purpose of low and slow.

Anyone else experience this problem?
