Any tips/tricks or items you recommend to smoke (insert joke) or specific wood types? I have some experience using one, but this is my first time owning one. I do recommend throwing some Mac n cheese in the smoker, you won't regret it.

Have 2. A Komodo Comet (egg) and an old school bbq/smoker. Besides the usual stuff. I like using mesquite lump as a base with cherry or apple chunks for the smoke. Invest in a quality digital thermometer. If your smoker is equipped to be compatible with the smart WiFi thermometer with/auto damper adjustment- the hey are super slick. Patience, patience, patience.

I have a green mountain grill. It used wood pellets. Be patient with the stall. Cook times vary every single time.

Got a little something to get started with and learn the craft, it's a vertical electric analog smoker, gonna use chips. One day I'll probably want to move up to one of those big Traeger ones.

Definitely will be on the list, I remember I tried smoking some shrimp at my college house with the smoker we had there and i cooked the piss out of them and they were horrible 😂
