Newbie from Kent Island,Maryland

Hello to all !  I seen this forum on a web search and thought I'd join.I'm totally new to smok'in meat so any help would be greatly appeciated.I recently made a crab steamer out of a beer keg and realized I wanted to make a smoker too! The steamer works great and I'm going to try out the smoker today (fourth of July) on some venison roasts.I'll be using Cowboy charcoal and wet Mesquite chips.Should I use a water pan too?I may even toss a couple of beef steaks in too and put them all on a rack on the tray. Also I made both the steamer and smoker out of items I had around the garage and they did'nt cost me anything!!! Sometimes I forgot to take my empty keg back and have accumulated 4 of them in addition to my deposit/return keg................

Welcome aboard!  I'm newer than you (you're no longer the new guy!).  My dad goes sailing on the Chesapeake 1-2 times/summer, from Rock Hall.  We've been by Kent Island several times.  And just this morning, I was looking up the shipping schedule for the former Robert Morris Inn crab cakes out of Oxford (the Gibsons sell them separately).  Anyhow, welcome!
