Proud new owner of a "real" smoker.

Welcome to the SMF family!!! Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have...searching the forums for answers is not always easy. Be sure to browse through the food safety forum, as cooking low & slow brings new challenges. If you want to smoke birds, don't be afraid to yank the chamber temps into the 300* range, as the skin won't crisp up much below that unless you have a few tricks up your sleeve. I love gassers for getting a high temp at the twist of a knob.

Oh, I noticed you're @ 7K elevation...5K myself...cooking @ elevation (as you probably already know) takes a bit longer, or a bit higher temps than sea-level chefs would use for recipes developed @ sea-level.

Have fun with that new rig and enjoy the forums!
