Ed here.  Just joined the forums after reading Jeff's recipes for a few days now.

I have a Brinkmann Smoke 'N Pit horizontal smoker that I've done turkeys, ribs, roasts...pretty much everything in over the last couple of years.  Just bought a Masterbuilt PRO Charcoal/Propane vertical smoker.  Love my wood burner, but was looking for a little ease of smoking and the Masterbuilt seems to fit the ticket. 

Been smoking for awhile and getting better, but would love some tips from other smokers out there.

Good afternoon and welcome Ed, Best advice is practice and patients. Take your time and allow plenty of it on long smokes. If using wood, make sure it is seasoned. I see a lot of new smokers wonder why there Q has a strong or bitter taste, usually not using seasoned wood or dampening back their smoke stack and trapping stale smoke. Just ask questions about anything you are not sure of.

Good Luck

Thanks for the welcome! Not too many questions right now, but I'm sure I'll have some coming up.  Right now I have a pork roast, a brisket, and two rack o' ribs in the smoker.  I'll post up the pics later on when I get em out and get em cut up.
