Radio is right about lots of different answers. I usually rub my pork the day before and leave in the ref overnight. Occasionally, I go two days in ref. It's all good.
Have you considered the Weber kettle? It makes some amazing cooks. I don't use my gasser anymore since getting a Weber Preformer off craig's list.

Bear............on your mice problem in your generator........... I used to have mice problems in my boat in the wintertime. Found out that moth balls would keep them out. Loaded the boat with them and no more mice problems.

Saturate it with drugstore mineral oil. Give it all it will absorb. After drying a few days, wipe off any remaining oil. It will then be cured and can be washed after use. I have used this process on wood used around food for years. Gives it a nice finish too.

0-30 psi is way too much pressure and don't give fine adjustment as you indicate.

I started with windows 3.1 and upgraded every version through XP. I ran XP until about six months ago and jumped ship. Installed Linux Mint in our three desktop computers and wow..........Linux just works. Easy to learn and will do anything you want to do.
I take the nuts to another level. I usually use mixed nuts and extra cashews. Lightly coat them with my homemade maple syrup, add spices with a light touch of chili powder, put them on a screen and cold smoke them 2-4 hours. then, put them in the oven at about 225 and cook till roasted...
