    never smoked before

    Welcome! As a fellow newbie, I have not done a brisket yet. Tested the waters first with a pork tenderloin, then ribs and a couple of sausage fatties. Brisket is on the list soon. Glad to hear SmokinAl's suggestion on Boston Butt cut. I'll have to give it a try...

    Baby Backs in Pre-Programmed Cookshack SM075 Electric Smoker Oven

    Results from my Cookshack SM075 electric smoker... I have not smoked any foods since one summer over 20 years ago. This is only my second use on this second-hand, 12 year old smoker. I would say things work just fine and I am looking forward to a productive summer with a little more...

    Baby Backs in Pre-Programmed Cookshack SM075 Electric Smoker Oven

    Thanks Soleman, for the advice and encouragement just when I needed it! I did not mind going to bed at 1:45 AM this morning, since I was well prepared for a late night. I had to work and could not get smoking until after 6:00 PM yesterday... Prior to this, I used a Brinkmann for one summer 20+...

    Baby Backs in Pre-Programmed Cookshack SM075 Electric Smoker Oven

    Ribs were rubbed up last night. Cooking tonight on my Cookshack SM075 electric smoke oven for dinner tomorrow night. It has the IQ controller, with a pre-programmed "Chicken/Ribs" button.

    my first smoke

    Nice! My first run was last week with a pork tenderloin. I was using a new-to-me electric for the first time. Insecurity and curiosity pushed my cook time to almost 4 hours! Now I know it does what it should, I will leave it alone and trust it do its thing. Enjoy the hobby!

    SMF Newbie

    Welcome! I was not nearly as ambitious. My first run was last week with a pork tenderloin. I am new too, so I can't offer any help whatsoever. But, welcome anyway... I am sure somebody will offer some sage advice soon!
