    Some advice please...my first smoke

    Is This Normal??

    Its electric, sounds like it was just a combo of a lot of wood, plus cold temps leading to condensation. I think its ok. Thanks for the reply though.

    Is This Normal??

    Is This Normal??

    Hey Everyone! My brand new Smokin-It Model 1 arrived today and its great looking. The quality seems top notch and it was ready to go right out of the box (aside from attaching the wheels). The instructions said to season the smoker by placing 3 to 4 of the hickory blocks that came with it in...

I've never smoked anything in my life, but can't wait to try! I'm a pretty good cook, but this is new to me. Looks like this place will be full of...
