Ok guys, just ordered myself a smoker. Been making jerky in a dehydrator for years. Dabbled with slim Jim's out of a jerky cannon in oven but nothing fantastic. Had a heck of a season with a 150lb 8pt archery and a 95lb doe muzzleloader and a few more weeks left to top off the freezer. I have a ton of ground and want to get into sausage making with my smoker. Mainly summer sausage, snack sticks and possibly brats. Also want to try jerky in smoker instead of dehydrator.

Turkey and ham down the road when I get skilled.

I know zip about smoking and don't know anyone who does it. Can anyone recommend books, video or websites (if allowed) to help me out? Also of course any tips from users here! I'm so excited, thanks for any help!
