Smoking newbie

[hoffer]

Hi all. Just got my first smoker last weekend. A Masterbuilt 30" electric (won the smoker after having thought of buying one for a couple years. Now I don't have to buy one). I'm a Weber charcoal grilling type guy and even though we live in Wisconsin I use it all year long on the average of twice a week. Just got our first gas grill a couple years ago just for quickie meals. We love to camp and cook mostly over a campfire or by using a dutch oven. I also make my own jerky by grinding my venison and using that for the meat that I dehydrate. On top of my love of the outdoors I like to camp, visit our rustic cabin in Northern Wisconsin, I'm an avid bow hunter for deer, we love to get on our Harley and ride and I'm a smart ass :) 

I'm looking for lots of new ideas and ways to cook using our smoker. First thing I'd like to smoke is some jerky using sliced venison. Then maybe some salmon. Looks like some great ideas on here.
