Hi,
My names Nathan and I’m a smoking virgin. I’ve always wanted a smoker so decided to build my own (picture attached) I’m just about ready to embark on my first smoke and have watched a few videos on how to set up my coals and water etc. However is there anything in particular anyone would recommend smoking for the first time rather than going for the full on overnight brisket (which I’m dying to do) also can anyone offer any advice on tips, tricks to help me on my way and also common mistakes to watch out for. I’m using Webber bbq charcoal briquettes and Jack Daniels wood chips as my fuel. And was planning on using Guinness if I smoked beef or apple juice or cider if I was smoking pork instead of the usual water.
