Nice. You badass little beaver! Mine might be the cheaper version but we can surely share ideas in this thread and tips on how to use it. I sure could use some help from the pros here!

Virtually everything I know about preparing Q I learned from this place. If you've smoked before you probably know a lot of it, but there is still some good info about electric (cheater) smokers.

Here's the thread I started. Tons of good info.

Definitely. I'm gonna do my usual rib smoke on it first, just to test it out. After that though, the experimenting begins.

You usually have to let it run a few hours to burn the chinese worker funk out.

I'd start with a chicken. That way you get the best feel for the heat and how it works. It's cheap and hard to **** up.

Season...........Smoke something cheap like chicken thighs.....Move on to ribs or more expensive meats.

I don't think you will find anyone who says differently. I'd been smoking with cheater smokers for 5 years but when I got the new one, did the same steps again. You need to know your smoker a little before you waste a $100 worth of meat.

How do you season the smoker? Just by doing some cheap chicken the first run?

Run it without meat. Just the heat and smoke.

Yea, I'm going 9 pucks deep on high temp my first night to season it. I think that would be enough, right? 3 hours.

Smoker arrived just now! Hellz yea!

I read online that many buy those throw away aluminum cake pans measuring 13"x9"x2" in order to not have to refill the drip bowl as much during a smoke as the one provided is pretty small.

That's a GREAT idea!
