# How do I get more smoke flavor from my pellet grill?

Sometimes you do not get as much smoke from Pellet Grill as you need.
Although pellet grills usually produce a moderate amount of smoke, which is common for pellet grills. 

So, what should we do in such a situation, let us know…

• First of all get to know your smoker properly and make sure you are using the right quality pellets.

# Do pellet smokers dry out meat?

This cannot be said directly that Pellet Smokers Dry Out Meat but yes there may be in some situations but it does not mean that pellet smoker dries the meat.

From my own experience and that of all BBQ masters I have learned that the dryness of the meat depends on which pellet smoker you are using and the thickness of the meat.

If you are also going through this problem then definitely use a water pan.

# Why does meat turn pink when smoked?

Smoked meat turns pink due to myoglobin.

A protein kept in muscles is called myoglobin.

When myoglobin is combined with water and meat is smoked at a lower temperature for a longer amount of time, myoglobin doesn’t completely degrade and gives the meat a pink color.
