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.

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 :D
