    First smoke - boneless chuck beef ribs

    Thank you, Al! So is 200-205 typical for beef? Also, it seemed SO dry, it makes me think cooking it longer would dry it out more. Should I be spritzing it? I did have a water pan filled with water and then the last 50min or so I had it covered with bbq sauce/beef broth in a pan.

    First smoke - boneless chuck beef ribs

    Hey there I did buy a ThermoPro thermometer, is this what you mean? Or do you mean a thermometer with multiple probes to monitor the IT and the temp inside the smoker? I've been trying to do research on those but I'm not sure which one to go with - thoughts?

    Smoking under a gazebo

    Hey all, We have a tall, steel gazebo covering our back patio. It does have openings near the top so it will have good air flow. My question is, is using my electric smoker under the gazebo a no-go? Could the smoke cause staining or discoloration?
