After about 2 1/2 hours the smoke has either really slacked off, or I'm getting used to the smell outside.
Actually quite nice and no complaints from my neighbors :)
8 days later it's both dry enough and I have time enough to fire this little guy up.
This is just the seasoning run (4 hrs @ 250F) so I have just the sweet, sweet smell of hickory smoke to tease me with future promises of smoky goodness.
Took about 30 minutes to get to 250, seems to be holding...
What's the best way to smoke butts ahead of time for later use? When to pull, and how to reheat. Looks like I might have to smoke some the day before use...
So my best friends know I have a new smoker, and I'm (we're) itching to try it out Memorial Day weekend.
Pretty much decided on pulled pork to start, with sides and dessert. I know from previous experience I need about a half-pound of meat per person for serving, and I'm thinking we are...

I have a remote temperature probe already...
With as many passionate, knowledgeable folks here as there are, that probably speaks volumes. Quite a few problems posted over on Amazon with the CB the main knock outside of here on MES is the small smoke tray.
With the tube smoker, most likely, I would use 10-12 pounds of chips to smoke one...
Thanks!
I do drop off plates, they appreciate the gesture, but I still hear about it. That's why I asked about the box smokers being more efficient and having less smoke produced.
