jonyhd,
Welcome, from southern Ohio, to the best forum on the internet if you are looking to learn how to BBQ/smoke/brine/cure/inject. Well you get the picture if you can do it to to something you put on a plate to eat then someone here has probably done it. Use the search bar at the top of the page and you will be led to the answer to most every question you can think of. If you don't find the answer there then just post it and someone will chime in with their opinion on the subject.

Be sure to check the accuracy of your thermometers (meat probe and cabinet) as they can be off quite a bit. And, don't rely on thermostats/controllers to maintain the set temperature, until you prove it's accuracy as well. Water-boil checks are the best way to find accuracy for probes (you can then place your probe into the cabinet on the grate(s) you'll be cooking on to verify those temps in relation to the controller/cabinet temp reading).

Always remember the only dumb question is the one you don’t ask!!
Keep Smokin!!!
Wolf
