Hi everyone. Just got my first smoker last week and haven't tried it out yet. Never smoked anything in my life. Been looking around on the forum and found lots of good info.  Can't wait to get the smoke rollin.

Hello everyone!

Just ordered the SI Model #3 and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.  Just a little about me, not new to BBQ'ing but just started down the electric route almost 2 years ago when my wife bought me a Christmas "special" at a big box store.  Knowing there had to be something better out there, I stumbled onto the Smokin-It site.  Read many of your posts, reviews and experiences and pulled the trigger this morning.  Thank all of you for taking time to share, as it was very helpful to me.

Can't wait to see what this bad boy will do!

Mark, Welcome from Southwest Arkansas! There is no comparison between the SI #3 you just ordered and the "Big Box" store smoker that you have. You will enjoy your new SI!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!  Looking forward to sharing info and experiences with you all very soon!

I do have one question, but please pardon me if this isn't the correct thread to ask it:
How do you guys handle a situation where you're 4 hours into say an 8 hour smoke, but you want to add something that may only take 4 hours.  So you want to add it midway in order for everything to finish about the same time.  6oz of wood may be perfect for the 8 hours because as you all know meat stops taking good smoke after the internal temp reaches 140.  I would think that the amount of smoke is diminished significantly after 4 hours (is what I'm guessing anyway).  However whenever you add the other meat, it has not reached that temp and needs smoke.  How do you combat that, or am I just overthinking it and the smoke is still significant enough?

Any comments would be appreciated.  The #3 will be arriving shortly!

Mark, I have smoke different meats/foods in my #2. If I need to smoke some butts and ribs, I do the butts and rest them in a cooler and smoke the ribs while they are resting. I prefer to only open my smoker twice - once to put the meat in and once to take it out. This works for me but I am sure someone will provide you with some better answers.
