    New Smoker from Kansas City

    I consider myself a pretty decent griller but I am extremely ignorant when it comes to smoking meat so I was thrilled to find this form. I recently purchased a smoker from Lowes, nothing fancy. It has a regural cooking surface and a side firebox. I figured this would be a good one to start...
