    New to this, Am i doing something wrong?

    Well my first smoke went great, I had to slice the brisket thin to get it really tender. It wasn't super jucie but it wasn't dry by any means. My sauage and atbs were perfect! I kinda burnt the ribs but with the meat falling off the bone , it was great. Thanks for the help!

    hum its only at 175 right now, and i want to take it off in half an hour. I added cole and wood, hopefully i can bring the temp up. On the plus side its tender and juicy

    I think your right, now the the fires died down the temp is falling slightly. Is it normal to replace the wood in about an hour using 4-5 chunks? Or is that because i had to much coal in there? Why start with something easy? Go big or go home ;) Edit, my digital thermometer is handheld...

    I just started my smoker for the first time, its just a smoker pit like you get at home depot with the fire box off to the left side and a larger grilling area next to it.
