Hello
I'm a first time poster and a newbie to the world of smoking. I am a long time fan of BBQ and have decided to try my hand at making my own.
I decided to slowly dip my toe into the water by starting out with an electric smoker.
Ive been reading around the forum and have learned a lot.
Here is my plan of action and question.
First of all, I plan on using the side wood chip loader that it comes with.
How often do chips need to be loaded? I was hoping to be able to load in a brisket, for example, at night and just let it go. Is that possible or do I need to wake up every hour to reload the wood chips?
In the future I may explore than A-MAZE-N but I just spent almost $300 on a smoker and not really willing to put more money out.
How large of a bag of wood chips should I have on hand? I don't want to be in the middle of smoking and run out.
Where does everyone buy their wood? Rubs and sauces if you buy them??
Any other advice would be fantastic!
Thank you
Don
