You need to take it slow and practice. Your smoker is just like a welder, you're not gonna pull one off the shelf, go home and lay down a nice bead if ya don't know how to weld. Start with something simple like some chicken or ribs and work your way up. Getting comfortable with the smoker will take a couple of trials and errors.. Read, read and ask..
