New smoker outside of DC in Poolesville, MD

[moxaman]

Hi Everyone,

I grew  up in Georgia with what I call REAL pit barbeque joints.  A plate of pulled pork, brunswick stew, slaw, potato chips and a few pickles and ice tea were typical fare.  I have experience with an offset side firebox barrel type smoker that was fairly cheap.  I couldn't get great smoking results so I mostly smoke/grilled and was satisfifed with that.  Now I recently got a Smokin-It model #2 and want to learn how to create some great smoked Q.  I don't have the time or patience to tend a fire.  I guess we all have a memory of some really great barbeque we ate in the past as do I and I'm trying to re-create that falling off the bone, smoked dry rub rib I ate years ago. I'm addicted to smokin!

Welcome from Arizona.  Regarding your Smokin-it; after seasoning, go light on the wood. A little goes a long way. Better to be light on smoke than too much.
