Smoking your own meat is something most of us can only dream about. You, sir, are a lucky bastard.

Is is electric or what

Done!

It's not electric, it's what.

This thread is worthless without pics of the damn smoker.

This is some good common type Lump Coal for long term smoking.

OP...anything else you need help with?

Alright guys, thanks for all the help. I got a pork loin and some spare ribs I gonna try smoking next Saturday.

I'm guessing the smoker is just a cheap one. The brand is a Morrone.

Don't use on a wooden deck.

Here's a pretty nifty .pdf for any stupid newbies

Pork Loin would not be my first choice.(very lean) Smokers do great with fatty cuts of meat like Brisket or Shoulder or Ribs.

The long slow cooking times break down the meat and make it tender. Briskets used to be the choice of smokers,(they were .70 a lb) but smokers have made even the roughest cuts of meat expensive. You can also smoke veggies and Chicken. Lots of fun ahead.
