Your only smoking when the heating element is on, so it is variable. I would say about every 30-50 minutes depending on smoking temp and outside temp.
Still playing around with my Amazin smoker so can't comment on it, but gets good reviews.
interesting.
I may just have to run one up that high and see if it's as good as you say, since I usually pull mine at lower temps and then get the "not so crisp skin". Thanks for the post.
use the 3-2-1 for spares and the 2-2-1 for baby backs (the middle number is the foiling period).

I do not preheat my MES here (against conventional wisdom) for 1 or 2 birds, I only preheat if its really cold out or I am going to load the smoker up.
