Just looked at the Fed Ex tracking site, my smokers supposed to be here ;DUnfortunately I still have to wait a week to use it as my wifes working outta town, and she has to pick up the bisquettes for it in Omaha while shes down there :'(I gotta find a closer dealer for these things, closest ones an hour away and its gonna suck driving that far or having to ship them everytime I run out.Guesse Ill have to buy in bulk :-\

Where are ya at, Dewy?  I'm about an hour and a half Northeast of Omaha (and an hour Southeast of Sioux City).

My smoker arrived, its better than I expected, easy to put together, easy instructions to follow.Might have to make the hour drive to get some bisquettes, dont think I can wait 6 more days to fire it up ;D

I found a happy medium, my sister in laws going to the town that has them Saturday, Im going to have her pick some up.Sunday will be the first cookout.Im planning on getting a couple backstraps from my deer out tommorrow night, putting a rub on em and letting it sit till Sunday morning in the fridge.Throw a couple of my homemade deer ring sausage on as well and invite a few people over.

The good part is Im convienetly forgetting to tell my wife I have some bisquettes already so I should wind up with enough for most of the summer ;D

Can't wait to see how things turn out for you.  Take some pics if you get a chance.

You will go through them quicker than you realize.  Smoking is habit forming. :D

Don't forget to season the BS first.  Check out the post on the recipe site for what to do with a new BS.

Ok, my Bisquettes will be here today, Ive taken one deer loin around 3 lbs, and about a 3 lb deer roast out, defrosted overnight and put a rub on it with salt pepper, garlic, and a little seasoning salt.I wrapped it in saran wrap and have it sitting in the fridge waiting patiently to be smoked.I also picked up a maverick remote thermometer thats supposed to moniter the chamber and meat temps.Gonna season the smoker in the morning and begin cooking.Think Ill make a pot of baked beans up and stick in as well.

Any suggestion on bisquettes, cooking times, temps, position of damper etc... before I begin?

Also i keep reading about not cooking raw sausages on the smoker that havent been cured.Id like to smoke a couple of my ring sausages on the smoker as well but dont want to poison anyone ;DCan these be cooked on the grill first then thrown in the smoker for a while towards the end of the smoking process to give them a little flavor? There mostly venison and dont have much fat in them to begin with.
