New Digital smoker won't go much over 160 deg.

Dave,
Just to make sure, you don't use the bisquetts during the entire cooking time.  Depending on your smoke taste, some things only need 20 minutes (1 bisquette) and most never go over 4 hours (12 pucks, or 1 packett).  Many of our log burner converters have made the same mistake and have done smoke the entire time.  Once your dialed in to your smoke time preferences, the going out for Q won't even be a fleeting thought.   ;D

Thanks all.   Good advice.  I definitely think I could have used much less smoking time.

This weekend I went to a friends home for some smoked ribs, brisket and chicken.  He smoked it with a Bradley generator hooked up to a very old refrigerator.  It was a pre-plastic refrigerator, so well-suited to smoking.   It was a bit too good!  By this I mean that I over ate.

Thanks,
Dave

That is a curse you will now face anytime you pass a package of meat in the store.   :D ;)
