welcome and good luck.. read what you can and don't forget to season smoker and learn temps..then do something simple like a whole chicken or burgers at same time or what ever...when I seasoned mine I did learn about temps and when the smoke starts and of course smoke flare ups or fires...I use smoke hollow 44 and two burners so I had to learn about temp CONTROL and not get fire... I did start wraping in foil and holes in foil and of course mixing chunks and pellets and chips ect... I know you don't have time for all that so just keep it simple first big event..and you will be just fine
