any suggestions— i just got one like that and seems as if the lid doesn’t fit correctly — i can see gaps when i place the big red lid on top

Hey! I just got a similar brinkman smoker from a yard sale in basically new condition. Quick question. Are you supposed to cover the electric heat source with lava rocks or does it not matter? Mine came with tiny lava rocks that sit underneath but I see you have larger ones that appear to be covering the heat source.

You put the wood chips in the water and on the coil? Do I have to put the wood chips on the coil or would in the water be enough to get the hickory flavor?

So aren’t you essentially steaming them not really smoking?

I wasn’t clear on what you said about the 2:2:1. Do you keep the smoker lid open for the first two hours of smoking the meats, and then put the smoker lid on for two more hours, and then rub/sauce the meat and smoke one more hour?
