if i could talk to 2012 me (when i first started):

• don’t put the meat in until the charcoal smoke has died down
• if something went wrong, it probably has to do with heat and air
• keep a log so you know what works for future cooks
• don’t stress out over things too much
• learn what kind of smoke causes bad flavors

lastly, it’s helpful to get a thermometer to track the internal temp of the food you’re smoking, and the temp of the cookbox. this is all i’ve ever needed, but there’s all sorts of gadgetry out there
