Newbie to Smoking

[ghostsniper]

Hi, everyone been reading Smoking-Meat.com for like 2 weeks now decided i should join the forum to get more answers.  Ok first of everyone can call me TJ, Tim or Ghost. I live in Onawa, Iowa, it is about 30min south of Sioux City or 90min north of Omaha Neb. i have a Char-Griller Deluxe Griller Model #2929. I am new to the smoking world so any tips from previous experiences are very welcome.  For now i will be only using indirect smoking method just because dont really have the room to add the side fire box, we live in a quadplex/townhouse.  the first thing i smoked well the only thing i have smoked is bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breasts. for the first time ever smoking i thought they were great except my heavy handed spicing and onions.  WEll not all sure what else to put on this so i will end it at that my first post will be in the pork section about making pulled pork.

Thanks
