That bad huh? I've ruined a few cuts of meat. Gotta learn somehow. Nothing wrong with trial and error.
 
Yup. Learned a valuable lesson about maintaining temp.

I've done it before. Temp was maintaining 225 pretty good. Left it to run to teh store.325 when I got back. Forgot to refill the water pan before I left and as it dried up, the temp spiked. it'll dry some ribs out in a hurry.

I think you said that you have an electric smoker. What kind is it?
 
It's a gas smoker. I love it. Its called Great Smokey Mountain Series. Got it at Walmart. This is a pic of the inside. It comes with 3 racks, a wood box, and awater pan.

I like the racks on the inside. Gas, eh? Don't know where I got the electric from. How many, about, shoulders or butts can you smoke on a full propane tank. Just curious how long a tank would last.
 
This was from a few weeks ago. Thought I had a better pic of the whole smoker. 1 tank last a lot longer than you would think. I can usually use my smoker 3-4 times before the tank runs out.(25-30hrs at least) I can easily do 3 butts at a time. Last time I did several meats, I did 2 butts, 3 racks of ribs, and a few chicken wings. I have an extra rack that I kept from my 1st gas smoker.

Spent all afternoon doing yard work. Edged, weed seated, and cut the grass. Also edged the sidewalk and cut the grass at the empty house next door. I've spent about 3hrs and almost 3 gallons of gas taking care of it so far. Better than letting it look like a jungle though.
