The folks here are great, the search engine is bustin at the seams with good quality information specific to you, your equip, and your local. The Guru's here as fast on the draw to help and have the right answers. Its really an amazing place.
My suggestion I learned from a wise man, start a book, a flash drive, a recipe card file, a cardex, a notebook........ keep a record. what you cooked, what you did, it brine rub sauce, it, temp and it, weather, etc etc etc..... That way the next time you want to cook that meat again, refresh your self and see what you liked and didn't, and how you think you could do it better. Besides if you ever make the perfect smoke wouldn't ya cry if you couldn't remember what you did?
Smoke is about relaxing, no stress, enjoying even your mess ups, and we all have a few. But when ya mess up you eat the evidence. Amazing isn't it! People should be amazed at how in control and kicked back you are in front of the pit.
Nice to meet you, have fun with your smoke.
