Good job Pags, I was looking for that post.
Personally Duck_Commander...TigerFan had a hard time teaching me KISS(keep it simple stupid), but after trying all the newbie experiments, which I see no problem with a fella doing, I come to understand just what he was trying to teach.
With a electric CS it is as simple as rubbing your meat about an hour before you smoke, let it set in the frig until it has a wet paste look, put in a cold smoker, and LEARN the proper way to tell doneness. You might learn like me that KISS can produce fine eating with very little effort and NO big messes or smoke in the eyes, oh well! Too each his own.
Oh by the way, my electric bill went down when I learned not to run out every little bit to see what the temp said on the smoker!
