i live in New Castle. i have not been on here for a while--- sorry for the late response.
i have a SMOKIN-IT #2 electric smoker and a MASTERBUILT XL propane smoker. love them both.... makes the beer taste great.

was frozen, then thawed, injected,rubbed and wrapped.
may not be able to get to them until 3 full days...that ok?
need to know asap.

SOUNDS GREAT....I agree S2K9K, I need to get busy and get after it - that XL will cook a lot- i think i will try both chicken and ribs.... maybe a pork loin and wait on the long smokes and expensive meat cuts.....until I have more experience... I think wings may be in order as well.... dry smoke...
thanks Ravenclan...just seasoned it and gonna get started next week- ribs may be a good way to go for the first smoke... i will try your method. rub advice? i have the maverik et-732 doubt i will try to use the food probe on ribs- lol. what about water pan-looks too small -keep it full or no?
