Welcome!
Yeah, there's plenty of reading on the forum, but the REAL knowledge will begin when you start smoking. It is very important to take notes on all your smokes, that way you are able to change what doesn't meet your expectations and believe me when I say that you will become the hardest to please.
While the times that our fellow family members have been gracious in sharing, may vary just a little from smoker to smoker...different meats, starting temps, and just a lot of other small variables, but hey that's what makes smoking so much FUN...well that and good eats.
Please feel free to give back for what is received and never be shy about asking a question, because we all started out like you.
Congrats, your gonna love a CookShack!
