My perfect wife got me a Landmann 2 door smoker, and some cigars... so I tried it all out today.


I got a bone in center cut pork roast, and did a rub last nite similar to ones I found on here


I added bacon on top to keep it moist


I also got a chicken, did a quick brine and light rub


I put it in the smoker, lit a cigar, and puttered around the garage


While I waited for everything (and it took 6+ hours...) I built a sled to haul my ice fishing gear - it's called a "Smitty Sled" - learn all about ice fishing at iceshanty.com


Later I realized I had some garlic around, and somebody mentioned cooking garlic... so I put some in... pic later

So... eventually things got done... pork roast first


It could have used a bit more time, but was tender, juicy and we enjoyed it.


Then the chicken reached temp - haven't eaten it, but juices were clear, and it looked nice.


So, after a while, I pulled out the garlic... and just ate a couple of cloves. then wife pointed out it would be good on bread, so we both had some...


I like my smoker, really I do... 

:-}
 
Looks like you're off to a great start!

Well, finally got into the chicken - interesting texture on the dark meat.... but all but 1 of the kids loved it (that one is picky about EVERYTHING...). 

Looks like I got the best Christmas present in the house...
