Hello from Toms River, NJ

Complete novice here, just bought a smoker last week and hoping to learn as much as I can. Always enjoyed BBQ and now going to enter the world of smokers. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Pit. Tell us what smoker you have, and what you would like to learn to cook first, (and second, and third...), and we will get you off to a great start.

The first thing you need to do is get a thermometer or two. You will need a digital thermo. to check the temp of your food so you can make sure you cook it to a safe temp. And a leave in thermo with at least two probes will allow you to monitor your smoker temp as well as the food temp. This one is not absolutely required, but will make your life much easier.
