I've smoked on and off for a few years. With the exception of brisket, when I just wing-it and put minimal effort into it, it turns out fantastic. When I try to replicate it, it isn't nearly as good. So I thought it was time to join a forum and figure out what I am doing.
I am excited as it appears that people are pretty helpful on here.

Welcome to The Pit from KC, MO. Some of what you are experiencing could be heightened expectations. When you wing it, you figure if it works great. When you put effort into replicating you are expecting great results and sometimes results don't match your expectations. The Pit is definitely a great place to find information and get help to help you meet your expectations.
Welcome to The Pit. If you can tell us what you used and what you did for a less than great cook, we can offer suggestions. One point to start you off is that no matter what you are cooking and what you are using to cook it, you need to monitor both pit temps and meat temps. That means having a leave in thermometer to monitor both temps.
If you don't have the right type of thermometer, you can start with the article below:
