Hello all.

I've been a griller forever and the family and I have been pretty happy with the results so far. I've been interested lately in upping my game with smoking and understand it's quite a different bear. The wife surprised me with the CG Smokin pro w/ SFB for my b-day and I'm here trying to soak up any information, tips and tricks before my first smoke. I guess my main concern is getting the temp to stay consistant throughtout the smoke.

Any little tidbit would be most appriciated!

Welcome fellow Texan. It all comes with practice. The sfb takes more attention but play with it a little and you will find its groove.
