Welcome to the forum BC! yer gonna love it here. Plenty of friendly advice from some really good people. There are a lot of goodies you can buy, but start with the basics an go from there. The first is a Maverick
ET-73 thermometer. These guys are members and have a good price.

After stocking in a good supply of bisquettes to see what you like, you can add from there.

Welcome to the forum Chuck!

A maverick et-73 is a must have, and build or buy a pid thats probably the coolest thing I ever added to the toys (I mean tools)  and of course lots and lots of mesquite wood!  ;D  Your gonna love your OBS, good luck and keep us posted!

BC welcome to the forum. Iffen it was me, I'd be conning Momma/ or just plain oll snaking that smoker out from under the tree and smoking up some X-mass dinner. That's what I would do. Of course you have to do some practice before you impress the guests so get it out now why wait. ;D ;D

Welcome BC

You will love your BS. I dont use a maverick because i have a raptor/guru hooked to my bs.

Enjoy your christmas present and Hapy Holidays.

BTW I work at cabelas, were you looking at the Masterbuilt smoker

If you have a Linens and Things nearby, they are all going out of business. I was able to pick up a maverick for about 20 bucks. Haven't gotten the chance to use it yet, but look forward to.

I didnt like the maverick, seems like you had to have a straight line of sight and my smoker was over 200 ft away.
