Just got my first smoker

[MileHighGrowler]

Awesome! Welcome to a wonderful hobby. I love stick burners because I have every excuse to sit outside and hang around my smoker all day. I used to start briskets late at night and smoke all night. It was really relaxing staying up all night alone, reading, enjoying the quiet hours. But then I got smart and started to smoke all day and into the evening, and then re-heated the next day.

Definitely a lot of great resources on YouTube. I do mostly Texas style smoking and it just never gets old!
