Hi Scotccrn,
Welcome to the CS club. I am a newbie as well getting my Smokette a couple of weeks ago. I seasoned mine with 4oz of hickory plus a big wad (probably about three pounds) of beef fat with a bone that my local butcher donated to me. I seasoned it for about eight hours. Did a butt a couple of days after that that was perfect.
Let us know how it goes.
