Wife got me a digital 4 rack for christmas and it is waiting at the garage door and I'm stuck at work any advice for a newbie I already ordered frog mats and bubba pucks can't wait to smoke something

also add a maverick et 732 thermometer to your tools,

also smoke with the vent  1/2 to wide open at all times, turkey, and chicken wide open all the time, fill the water bowl up with water to catch the pucks, afterwards add a flavored drink, soda, juice, beer or what ever you favorite beverage is .. adds to the flavor of the meat.

Don't forget to buy some larger pants along with the pork butt and ribs. ;)

Welcome to the forum! Invest in an instant read thermometer.  Don't worry about the temp swings.

 You probably wont like that smoker, you should just bail now and send it to me. LOL, just kidding. You'll love that thing! I feel sorry for your wife though, she has no idea what she has done. Lots of good people here willing to help. Don't be afraid to ask, and don't forget the pictures.  ;D ;D ;D

No problem at all. Go for it! I will be doing a ham shortly and I'm at 26 and a little wind.

If there is some way you can sort of block the wind from blowing directly over the top of your Bradley, you will be happier.  Wind blowing across the top can suck the heat right out of your smoker.  The air temp won't be much of a factor.  Don't worry about temp swings you may see.  That's normal.

Now, go roll some smoke!

I put a foil wrapped brick in the bottom of my Bradley to recover temps faster; and if you change the water bowl to a 9x9 cake pan- both fit perfectly.

Stock up on BBQ sauce and some meat rubs for all the things you are going to be cooking.
