Rule #1. Turn the temp down!!! Mospt peple smoke WAY too hot.
200-225 tops!
Rule #2 rub your meat... (insert snicker here). A rubbed pork butt or ribs helps a lot.
Rule #3 it's NOT done yet!! It is not going to be finished quick, and your aren't going to burn it.
Good advice! I have a charcoal/wood smoker with a liquid pan above the charcoal level... not an electric smoker...
It is difficult to maintain at a particular temperature without adjusting the coals often, but well worth the effort...
I agree 200F-225F... mine rarely goes below 200F, but will spike, at times, to 235-240F... then I just have to remove some coals...
