new smoker from the northwest side of mass

[smokinjeeper]

Hey everyone. I'm from the northern berkshires in Massachusetts "dont hold that against me" haha. Just picked up a char broil sidebox smoker. I plan on doing the 5 day course, its much needed. This is definitely not grilling. I've already experimented a few times and failed a couple lol. My smoker is small and cheap, its definitely a starter smoker. I see a bigger, better one in my near future.
