How's everybody doing?

[j-boogie]

Hey there!  I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma and I'm new to smoking.  My wife bought me a Master Forge model #cbs1101L for Christmas.  It's a vertical charcoal smoker  I've done lots of grilling with my Ducane gas grill and have perfected ribs on it.  However, this is my first go at truly smoking.

I seasoned the smoker a couple days ago and had my first run yesterday.  I smoked a beer can chicken.  It came out fantastic, but I had some serious issues with controlling the fire and heat.  I may have built too big of a fire.  Something to work on.  I'm thinking of doing some scallops for New Year's Eve.

I appreciate any help and ideas you all can offer.  I've already gotten a lot of information from this site and look forward to lots of smoking and good eating!

Nice to meet y'all!
