New to smoking

[hitman 63]

My name is Sean and I have never smoked meats before.  I recently bought a new gas/charcoal combo grill with a cast iron smoke box for smoking.  I'm definitely interested in the different rubs, sauces and smoking techniques that members to these forums use.  Since I have no experience smoking I am also finding it interesting reading about how other people calculate the time that the meat needs to spend on the grill/cooker and how to determine when the meat is finished. 

I look forward to learning from all of you and from sharing my experiences here for others to see.
