I'm new to smoking - actually, never done it before, but I've just borrowed my father's smoker - an electric Brinkmann Smoke'n'Grill. I've attached pictures in the hopes someone might be able to clarify some things about it. It's an old smoker - before they started putting the doors on them to add wood and water, so my dad installed one himself. It hasn't been touched in probably 15 years, so needless to say, it's in somewhat sore shape. Does the small metal "stand" go over the element to hold the water bowl, or does the water bowl go on the bottom of the two racks and the wood go on the stand? Also, do I need any lava rocks or anything around the element?
What's a good thing to smoke for a first-timer?
Thanks
Jim
