Confused

[fishnhnter]

Ok. I want to learn more about smoking and you folks seem to be a great group and a great place to learn. I bought a Masterbuilt Xl today and a anxious to get started.
I was looking at the 5 day course and decided to download the course because i will
Be out of the country and will need some reading material. Hear are my questions:
1. Are the course and the OTBS somehow directly related?
2. Do i need to take some sort of test for either he course completion or the OTBS?
3. Do you folks have sort of Acronym Handbook? I find myself spending most of my time trying to figure out the difference in an OTBS and a GOSM
