Welcome to the forum, you will love all the ideas and advice that float around here. One suggestion - get a vacuum sealer. Then on the weekend when you are doing homework, you can smoke off a bunch of stuff, then vacuum seal it and toss it in the freezer.

Then the vultures.... I mean teenagers

, can pull out a pound or two for that after school snack... lol.

Welcome to the site.
I agree with investing in a vacuum sealer, one of the better purchases I have made since you can freeze, thaw, freeze and thaw BBQ over and over and it is just as good as the day you smoked it.

Find some sawdust(from fruit or nut trees) and place in a small Aluminum pan on the heating element,should do great!

Electric smokers are not cheating, smokers come in all shapes and sizes, just like their owners. You can create great BBQ from a gasser, an electric, a UDS, etc etc. You might find after you upgrade to another smoker, that electric was your favorite.

Welcome Tammi. I got a 4 year old that does that same thing to my pork. Most kids want candy and ice cream...my kid want brisket.
