Thanks for all the great replies so far. I can't wait to take my first step on
this journey. Hopefully over the weekend. Probably start with pork or chicken.
Or hell, maybe there's room on my grill for both. Oh, and once I start the
smoking process, do I have to be fussing with the meat? Turning it, etc? When I
waatch TV shows, it seems like they just put the meat into a smoker and leave it
for however long and let it smoke. Thanks again. I appreciate all the help.
