My wife got me a 4 rack digital smoker for Christmas - lucky guy. I live on Vancouver Island and am looking forward to doing a bunch of smoking in the future. salmon, scallops, prawns, and so on. Am starting with some pork ribs on New Years Day, hope they turn out OK.
Do you normally smoke the entire length of the cooking cycle?
welcome i start and finish in the smoker just not smoking the whole time.
I usually smoke for 2 hrs for chicken; 3 hours for ribs, 4 hrs for butts and brisket.
Welcome FC. Gus gave you a good baseline on times. Experiment for your own tastes. Seafoods do not require much smoke while butts, brisket etc. can handle quite a bit.
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the forum...Enjoy!

Welcome to the forum frenchcreek!
Hang out here and you'll love it.
I like smoke, so I do about 4 hrs on ribs.
Looking forward to seeing you seafood smokes. Remember, we like pics and lots of them.
Hi frenchcreek and welcome to the forum. I usually do 3 hours of hickory on ribs.
Welcome to the forum frenchcreek,
Happy Smoking! ;D
Thanks all. I used a modified Memphis rub, smoked for 2 hours, then wrapped in foil and poured in some apple cider. 2 more hours and then removed foil and finished 1 hour with smoke. The meat fell off the bones and was delicious. We used a maple-chipotle sauce for dipping, really added some flavour as well.
Ate them too fast to get photos.
Next??????????????
Glad to hear it worked out for you. We will forgive you one time for no pics
Glad it worked out FC. The sauce sounds interesting. Did you make it or buy a bottle?
What's next? How about a nice Boston butt?
The sauce is made by Stonewall Kitchen. They have many different flavours and we use them quite a bit. The maple chipotle mixed with some lemon juice makes a great glaze when grilling salmon.
