Hey everyone. Thanks for all the replies. Sorry  for the late response. I was on a bit of a mini vacation last week and got home late Sunday and spent all day yesterday vegging and running a few errands.

 Tomorrow is supposedly the delivery day for the Smokin-It 4D.  I am excited, yet nervous all at the same time. That is a huge expense for us, and hopefully one that will pay itself off in no time at all.  I look forward to sharing my first smokes with you, including photos.

I'm hoping I never have to move it once it's delivered. Getting the casters on may be another issue altogether. ;)

Drink fluids, lift from the legs, and take frequent breaks. ;)   Or, use a crane (if needed).

I almost needed to. ;)  It's seasoning right now.  Not happy with what I am seeing, but hopefully, my fears are misplaced.

Hi David.  If this works, here is a link to a thread I started about it.

http://smokinitforums.com/index.php?topic=5126.0

Currently, I put in some hickory chunks I got from Amazon after foiling a good portion of the smoker box as has been suggested elsewhere.  Also, set the temp for 150 for .7 hours (whatever that works out to, since I suck at math) and then to go to 225 for a total of 4 hours.  The first .7 hours, it smoked really nice.  Had what appeared to be thin blue smoke to thin white smoke.  Then I couldn't see any smoke at all just before the .7 hours ended and it ramped up the temp, going to 225.  It has now been "puking out" thick white/grey smoke for the last 20 minutes or so.  Pretty sure the chunks caught fire.  This does not make me want to put any meat in there as expensive as it is.  Everyone says there is a learning curve to these things, but I may end up just using my AMNPS. 

Thanks. :)
