Newbie from Nova Scotia Canada

Welcome to the forum azamuner.  This is a great place to learn and yes, there is a lot of info to ponder over.  Gravlox is good eats, but have never smoked it or had it sweetened more than the cure mixture. 

For a newbie just learning, would it be advantageous to buy the digital smoker and get a PID later?  Just learned what a PID was like 5 mins ago here on the site.  It seems like the digital would be perfectly fine for most foods and then if you needed a more stable temp, you could install one of those Auber PIDs.

Sounds like a great plan.  But then again, that is exactly what I am planning, but now with well over a year with my DBS I still haven't bought a PID - just don't smoke anything yet that I thought I needed one. 

Also a 4-rack should suffice yes?  They don't sell the 6-racks here in Nova Scotia.  

Unless you are planning on cook an awful lot of meat at any one time, a 4 rack is sufficient!  Some like the 6 rack because of more room to hang sausages.

Heck you don't get much stuff here really.  It's like Canada stops east of Quebec.

Tell you what, I'd change out my backyard for your backyard!  Atlantic salmon = dream fish!
