I'm brand new to this forum and to the "art" of smoking....so thanks in advance for any advice on my very novice questions.
So they idea of smoking my own food seems pretty cool and after discussions wit my wife is something we want to try. I'm sick of boneless chicken breast on the grill! We're trying to also look at it from a health perspective as well. I think the general perception of smoking is that it involves a lot of food that is bad for you- but I'm sure there are plenty of healthy recipes that exist (turkey/fish etc).
So my question is really around what I would need to get started.
My plan is to get the 18.5 inch smoker off of Amazon for $300 unless there is a better option. What I really want to know is what else I need to get started? Charcoal? Wood Chips? Chimney starter? Seasonings? Rubs?
If there's a recipe that you just love and you think would be good for a beginner to follow to get my confidence going that would be more than welcomed as well!
Thank you!!!!!
