if I were you.. I would still invest in a meat thermometer as well...
just to make sure that the internal temp is getting where it needs to be...
never used a cheater smoker like that.. .but it does look nice and convenient!!
also... just to my preference... using hickory and apple wood in combination is the way to go in my book
also, if you are planning on smoking a brisket.. i have had success marinating it in apple juice for 24 hours before putting it on...
good luck.. it will become an addiction
