Thanks for the welcome GLH and Wheelz!
Been working with computers for 27 years. Spend alot of time on the internet, but this is my first time posting (anywhere). Bought my smoker after tasting some pretty good brisket in Nashville a month ago. I was hooked. Wife was very happy with this attempt. Not alot of smoke flavor. For some reason my 6 oz hickory and two natural pieces of charcoal burn't up in less than 2 hours. Saw a big puff of smoke shoot out around door and top vent. Temp 225F. Used same wood day before on baby backs and was still smoking after 4 hours.
Oh well, can't beat the taste.
