Hello all...new to the smoking world.  The wife wanted me to open a Christmas present early so we could use it on some party food.  I guess she thought  I could just throw some meat on, light it up and BOOM! you got smoked meat! 

I have a Trails Embers smoker.  Looks a little like R2D2.  I used it twice now.   I have been looking online at the different ways of doing things and its starting to get overwelming!

My first was a plank of salmon, which turned out pretty good.   So I tried my hand at some chicken thighs today...not so good.  Couldn't get the temperature to stay up to desired range.  I have a lot of practicing to do.  I figured that.

Oh well, I guess Rome wasn't built in a day, so I"ll just keep trying.

have a good day allL

I like this guy! You have to admire wives and their ability to think we can make things happen!

I just purchased the Ember Trails Triple Function Dome Smoker, any tips on this product. I know almost everything we buy now is made in China, I am hoping this one is better than most. Looking for tips. Thanks. Derek
