Hi, and welcome.
Last Christmas I cooked a pork shoulder and everyone loved it. It was my first christmas dinner on the smoker, and all went well. Have a practise and then go for it.
Project Smoke by Steve Raichlen is a good read. He covers smoking all sorts of stuff, so may be worth a look.

I had a similar issue with my gas. It must have had a slow leak, and even with different bottles.
In the end I just detached the attachment after every us. Not a problem now as a very rarely use it. Good luck.

Hello.
Your wife sounds just like mine!

Well good luck.

It has specific meat settings, but also can set the temperature that I want.

Mine is like this.

Don't know to be honest. I used mine yesterday and all seemed well.

I use a Thermopro and have been very pleased with it.

Just a thought, putting briquettes on burning coals can create smoke. Try getting the briquettes going in a chimney starter then adding them.

I really like what you've done there!
