Time to Start Smoking

[sdsmoken]

Hey all I'm Gary I live in San Diego, CA originally from the central valley here in CA.

I just inherited a Bar-B-Chef offset smoker, I've never owned a smoker nor have I ever smoked anything before but like I told my dad when he asked me about it is all I can hope for is some tasty, tasty experimenting. 

I do have one starter question and that is what is the easiest cut to try first.  I am a huge lover of tri-tip and grill them at least once a month so i was thinking about doing one of those.  But being in San Diego I have great access to fresh fish and was thinking about trying to smoke some of that.

Any tips, hints or input will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey Gary, Gary here from East Texas. glad you joined up. I usually tell people to start with chicken, cheap and forgiving, also sausage. This will get you acquainted with your new smoker.
