As once who consumes smoked prime rib, ribs, and turkey on a regular basis, you most definitely want a Smoker, and that looks like a good’un. But I’m a noob too, so for the real advice go sign up for the Yahoo Group:

And you’ll get over 2500 opinions on just about anything related to proper preparation of meat for human consumption.
Me and She Who Must Be Obeyed were at Sam’s the other day and saw a big package of ribeye uncut, wanted $100 for it. I lusted for a minute or two, it would be so delish, but I would be a fool to buy something like that. I’ll buy a couple of ribleyes for fun, but that much meat I’d have to save for our wedding or it would end up in the crockpot.
So tasty, but too much food. I have an Asian wife. We have a 17 cubic foot freezer, and a big fridge in the house, and a small freezer I use to make ice, and another side by side that she got my contractor to bring over today. Don’t know where all that freezer power will go, but I know this: marry an Asian and you will never be hungry.
You couldn’t put a box of crackers in any of our refrigerators, we have enough food to feed ten people for ten days.
