Hi all,

Finally decided to join the Bradley movement. Got a digital 4 rack smoker. Now I'm trying to figure out the best place to start.

3) keep the  top vent  wide  open

5) keep in  mind that the smoker is a slow cooking  unit... think  crock  pot / slow cooker with a  lot  more  volume
6) box temp set  point is  225 F typically  and box  temp  drops are  normal
