Lost my Meat smoking virginity today

Started my first BBQ this morning at 8, I've got a butt shoulder on now and putting the back and country style ribs on at noon for dinner at 6. Hope it turns out good. Used a rub recipe with cinnamon in it. Sounds odd but smells so good. Just trying to get my wood hot enough to make blue smoke. I'm at white/grey out of the exhaust but the leaks in the firebox are blue smoke. Could this have to do with the steam from the water pan

Sometimes it takes my smokers longer to get to the "thin blue" smoke that other times. Just give it time and you will be graciously rewarded... Cheers!!!
