Accessories Recommendation

The cord hanger is nice, but I actually just wrap up my cord and sit it on the top of the smoker, then cover. So, no sweat on the hanger!
I believe some folks have used wood chips on occasion, but most of us use the wood chunks...you will get a small bag with 4 hickory doles as part of the purchase.

You can use the same chips, but I would consider buy some chucks from Fruitawood, Maine Grilling Woods and a new place Tony (DivotMaker) told us about Smokinlicious.com.
You will use so much less wood, I think it is worth while not to buy the stuff from Walmart.

I gotta go with Limey on this one...especially for baby backs. I did get a rib rack thinking it would be nice for larger parties but the one time I tried it, the fact that the ribs curved over and sorta layed on each other prevented a bark. Then I doubled up on that by laying them out when I took the flat rack ribs out and smoking for another 30 minutes. They turned out dry from being in there too long.
So, if I just didn't do something right, please let me know how to make that rib rack useful. But unless I need to get more than 6 racks in my #2, I'll stick with laying them flat.

seafood rack is great. So far I've used it for burnt ends and times when I cut 1-2 ribs off of a rack to get them to fit. I should have passed on the rib rack and gotten 2-3 extra seafood racks (comes with one).
But I'm thinking of an accessory order with those and a couple of the pepper/veggie holders.

Get a thermometer that reads remotely, like the Maverick. It is important to know what the internal temperature of your meat is, and you don't want to be continually opening the door to check. If you don't order one with your smoker, buy one from amazon or somewhere with cheaper shipping, but buy one.

You also need to buy some gear wraps, I use these for my electronics and the smoker cord, they make all lengths.

Thanks everyone. I will give the rub hooks a try, they were free with my order as part of a promotion. I will check out that website for wood. I have quite a pile of seasoned apple wood, I could cut that into chunks for the #2 as well.
