I still haven't had the time to properly break in my smoker. I've used it to smoke some stuffed hamburgers, and dang they came out good. But I need to do something like that - unfortunately the weather here in the PNW has just turned to nonstop rain for the next 5 months.... So maybe next spring........
Never a bad time to smoke. Set a canopy over it and continue on. I smoked a turkey last Christmas and have smoked in all sorts of weather.
