new to smokers.

[BIG-TED]

I'm a dab hand on the old bbg, but never used a smoker, I've been given this smoker, won it at work, would like to give it a try but don't know anything about it, Obviously its a cheap, probably rubbish one judging by the instruction translations.



what kind of attention do you have to give it, ie do I need a thermometer? I have got a IR one that I use for other projects.


Is there a recipe that is pretty fool proof and generally comes up trumps ?

A brisket one would be good.

thanks

Ted
