Rate, I would change these a bit.  As follows.  These are the base requirements where you can get some answers to make the results better.  The numbers are matching your theme.

1) I want to cook X pounds of meat, what does than affect things?  How about multiple types?

2) How hot do i need to bring the cabinet to, should I preheat, and for how long?

3) How long should it take, assuming not opening to peek?

4) How do I know when its done?  Is there a meat temerature or feel I am looking for?

Same questions in a sense what what you have but more what' on the mind.  And more direct as to what will help get a better response.  There are so many other details that can help, but with experience the processes come out. 

But great attempt to put out there questions for the newbies.  Hey were all still newbies.  i am.

Yea i see your point i just figure i would throw something out there that made a little sence.And knowing someone would refine it.I as a newbie just see alot of this kind of talking .Well i did the ribs at 210 for 4 hours they were great.Well whats missing the poundage and so forth.Just thought this also might get some of the older guys to explain there project a little more in depth.Not that there not doing an awesome job already just thought i would point this out. ;)
