As someone else said, First, sign up for the free 5 day E-Course or if you want it all at once you can get a good PDF Format of the course for about 4 bucks, you may have to go to the Smoking Meat Store or Web Site to get the PDF format. When you have read all the material in the course till you half way understand it get the best smoke you can afford and familiarize yourself with it and how it operates. Then Read, Read, Read and Read some more, the wiki is a good place to start and don't worry if you don't understand something, the only dumb question ask here is the one you do not ask! I do agree with les3176, getting someone with some commercial pit experience behind them will be of great help, or at least someone who has been in the restaurant business before, as cooking at home is a whole lot different than cooking commercially and you must follow all the health department rules as they will check to see if you are. I wish you all the luck in the world but like many of us here who have been smoking for several years we learn something new everyday here. We are glad to have you here with us and hope that we can be of help to you as you begin your smoking career.....just remember....low and slow, to me, the three greatest words in BBQ. Best of Luck to you!
