New to the smoking game

[kickass32]

Hey guys/gals, I just purchased a new "Master Built" electronic smoker.....never have used one before, but a buddy has a smoker and has been telling me about all the great foods he's been doing, so I figured I'd get into the game.

My name is Tony, I live in Ontario, Canada and like I say, I'm brand new to this.

I have some questions but not sure this is the right forum to ask them in.

Yes you picked the right forum to introduce yourself. If you can't have that experienced friend supervise your first tries, maybe begin with split chicken breasts to get a feel for your unfamiliar rig.

On wood-burning rigs another trick is to place pop-up biscuits or slices of cheap white bread on the racks, to see where in the rig they toast first/fastest, but I don't know if the electric rigs run hot enough for that.
