Hey, welcome and happy new year!

The level of smoke is a personal taste thing, but don't be afraid to go very light on the wood addition if that's what you like. A couple of big chunks right at the start of cooking can be more than enough, depending on how you like it.

Like Rob says - try the lighter fruit woods (Apple or Cherry) and I generally only use 2-3 good lumps from the start which seems to work fine for my taste.

Not sure what you are using but Hickory and particularly mesquite can be over powering.

Welcome to the forum!

Hi, have a good read and you'll find you weren't alone in too much smoke, start off light (probably half what you would think) then adjust for the next cook.
Have fun
