1. Question: What temp should I use when smoking  meats?   
 Answer: As with any thing that you want to be consistent at the least amount of variables you have the easer it will be . So select a temp to start with (we like 230 degrees) and then just vary the time the meat is smoked, just experiment to suit your desires and remember what works for you.

2. Question: What kind of wood should I use?
    Answer: Any good hard wood (oak, hickory, pecan). We like to use these to get to temp and for the first 60% of cooking time then add what ever flavoring you like (cherry, apple, mesquite) for the last 40% of the smoking time.

3. Question: How should I prepare the meat?
    Answer:
This is a good one, everyone has the best or perfect way of doing this. With that said, we believe almost any thing that works is ok, If you are cooking for other folks you will want to please them. If you are cooking for yourself suit yourself. A lot of people have there secret rub or sauce, but we have found some of the current BBQ sauces you can get at the market will do just fine. We do not think you have to be a rocket scientist here.

4. Question: What should I do to cure my new smoker? 
    Answer:
If your smoker is made from an old used propane tank, you should coat the inside of your unit with any cooking oil. Then get some oak or other hard wood to hold the heat better. Start the fire and get the temp to 400 degrees and hold it there for 4 to 7 hours.
  If your smoker is made from new steel pipe, follow the same procedure as above except you will only need to burn it at 250 degrees for about 2 hours.
