Good day,
I am a newbie from Edmonton Alberta, I just purchased an OBS and have finished the seasoning. What an amazing smell in the back yard as this was happening!! I love the smell and taste of smoked meat but have never preformed it before-grilled a lot with a smoker box in the BBQ but not the same. I already am learning with the boiling water and room temperature meats for preheating sot hank you all very much!!

Welcome Brent! You are in for a long wonderful journey.
So what are you going to smoke first?

Keep the vent at least 1/4 open, open all the way with chicken.

Well I am going to try some pork chops and ribs to start with but the wife and I have already been talking of all the different things we are going to try and do!!!
Thanks for the welcome!
I am very new so please bear with me-in our response you state to open the damper all the way for chicken and only 1/4 otehrwise-can you tell me why??
Sorry for being such a newb!!!
Thanks,

Poultry holds a LOT of moisture so the vent needs to be wide open. I never close my vent below 3/4 anymore for anything I'm smoking. Still not sure why they bothered to put an adjustable vent on it to begin with.
Welcome and greeting from Michigan.
Always remember the napkins.

Remembered to grab a pick of my first smoke part way through!! This is about 1/2 of what I was smoking-Seemed to be enjoyed by all! Went into the smoker for 2 hours with the special blend another hour no smoke around the 220 mark, FTC and finished on the grill the next day. Being the first go round I did not season or sauce the meat. Wanted to see what effect it had on the raw product before I started messing with it.
Turned out very tender, still moist, and a nice subtle flavor. For a first time i think it was awesome and the encouragement was indeed helpful!!
I wanted to thank everyone for their help so far and I know I will enjoy being a part of this forum!
