There are four racks of baby backs going right now. We will see later tonight.

I think I like it thus far. I'm still a wood guy when it comes to cooking so I am not completely sold. My brother in law has one and he did the turkey at Thanksgiving and it was as good as any smoked bird I have ever had.

That's interesting about the wood chips, less is more. From what I've been told by guys with custom built smokers, they've retired them and have gone electric. No more adding wood and checking constantly. The ease of the electric smoker has won them over with pretty much the same results.
