    New and would like some advice

    You can get all the info you need on here but I'm curious what kind of luck you have had with the Smokenator. I also was going to buy a Weber WSM but decided why bother after I got the Smokenator. :)

    First attempt with my Weber and Smokenator

    First attempt with my Weber and Smokenator

    I just registered today and since I've drooled over many a picture on here while lurking, I figured I needed to post my first attempt at smoking a pork butt with my Weber and Smokenator. I was amazed how well it turned out and even though I was pushing the time for it to hit the dinner table it...
