I have Masterbuilt smoker. Get several different types of wood to try. Hickory and Apple are my favorites. There is a cook book called "Dadgum That' Good" that has some good recipes in it. You need to try the smoked mac and cheese, it's great.

Keep 2 things in mind.Low and Slow and if you're looking you ain't cooking.Cooking teps need to be from about 170{fish}to a max of 250{pork/chix}with 225 being optium most of the time.You are slow cooking/smoking not grilling.The Smoke Ring forum is an excellent source of info,there are some real gurus there.

Apple, Hickory and Mesquite are the most popular woods to use in a smoker.  If you can get some, Pecan wood is also very good!

A water pan is a good tool for keeping the smoker from drying stuff out.  A little beer in the water pan is a good thing :)
