So I've only been smoking meat for about a year I've learned through trial and error and I was wondering if I use hickory sawdust in a 100lb sausage maker electric smoker what would be the best method of lighting the fire. The smoker came with an electric starter. Should I be lighting it to see fire or try to light it alittle and let the coals light the rest. Should I be wetting the sawdust, or should I also be using wood chips. Any and all tips would be appreciated.
