Dirigo here.

I'm a Mainer who loves Southern-style BBQ. I started with an Alton Brown "Good Eats" flower-pot smoker that I perfected to the point where I use an Auber Instruments PID controller to keep a constant temperature. I've turnd out some good BBQ with that little flower pot smoker! But it is fussy sometimes.

So I decided to go automated. I was looking at buying a Bradley through Amazon when I saw a review that said "Buy a Cookshack because they are made like tanks and produce a great product". So I looked at the Cookshack web site and son-of-a-gun if I didn't take delivery on a SM025 last Monday. I'm still working on setting up the smoker in a 20sf Suncast Garden shed, but should be ready to season it by Sunday.

Menwhile I'm reading this great forum and trying to soak it all in.

What should I try for my first smoke? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
