Why does egg smoke so much before even adding wood?

How much smoke are we talking about, I assume you are using hardwood lump.LBGE 2013 Located in Savannah, Georgia

Lump that's lighting for the first time will smoke some. Whatever you're lighting with may smoke some. Any grease on the grid or in the egg may also burn/smoke.Finally back in the Badger State!

When I used Lazzari mesquite it smokes the whole cook.

Some lump is really dusty and will take a long time to clear. Try another brand. Lighting in multiple spots helps too.

Make sure the holes under the lump aren't clogged with ash. If the lump doesn't get enough air, it will take longer to get hot (if at all) and it will smoke.Charleston, SC
