What to put in the smoker this weekend?

[Gman]

Before you road testing your new smoker. Line the tray and drip channel with foil, makes cleaning that much easier.

If we're going there, I'd do the burn-in first without the foil. Let everything cool down and then line the drip tray with foil. I've seen the foil stick when applied to the tray with the protective oil still on it. Also make sure to keep the foil tight to the underside so it's not flapping in the breeze over the fire bowl.

Truth!
Learned that on the burn-in and got to spend a few more minutes scraping the original foil off.
But (always a but) it has been great having a pellet smoker!
