Hello all!
Received a new #2 for Father’s Day this week from our adult kids. Did a seasoning smoke for 3.5 hrs the day it arrived. Started a batch of chicken breasts and thighs a little earlier and she’s smoking away. Going to do a pork butt and some wings on Father’s Day which also happens to be our 40th wedding anniversary. So I want everything to turn out well. I’m new to electric smokers being an old school stick or propane guy, so if you have any tips or suggestions, please share.
I am puzzled by the operating instructions that say to use only 4-8 oz of wood.... is this true?
can I use chunks of dry wood or are chips better? What about soaking wood... is that recommended? I’ve never soaked wood before and since it IS electric, hopefully that is a “no”.
Anyway, I’m excited to have this model and I’m looking forward to learning it.
