I've been smoking for about 6 years, I started out with an electric brinkman bullete. I just bought a master built digital electric smoker and absolutely love it. I'm cooking a pork shoulder for pulled pork today and have read thru the forums for advice. I'll let you know how it comes out. I've been cooking Robson my brinkman using the 3-2-1 method and have had nothing but rave reviews from my friends and family. Thanks Jeff for this great web site and your news letters
