New to Smoking from West WI

[Drevnick]

Hi all, New to smoking and the forums. I received a MES 30" smoker for a Christmas gift this past winter. Always been a huge fan of sitting around a charcoal grill and enjoyed experimenting a little with smoking but nothing major. This weekend was my first attempt to smoke something in the MES. After doing a lot of reading I decided on smoking some chicken legs and thighs. I used a Mango Habanero run and smoked them with Hickory for about 3 1/2 hours at 240 degrees, and then a quick blast on the grill to crisp up the skin some. I must say for my first attempt they turned out pretty darn tasty.

Looking forward to reading and learning from everyone here!

Here is a link to a picture of my first attempt.
