New smoker here

[zedteamk2]

Hello !. 

i had a $100 gift card, a $20 discount coupon, and some points on my card.  So i got a smoker from Cabellas. :)

There is currently 2 chickens and some sausages in it that i think will be done in about an hour.

I already smell of mesquite, the dogs are very interested....

I'm trying to figure out when a chunk of wood should be replaced with new wood... about to dive into the forums since a google search did not help much

Thanks !
