3 hours smoking with cherry wood at 230°F. Beef short ribs and 2 lots of pork ribs, used a apple cider vinegar and apple juice 50/50 spritz sprayed on every 30-45 minutes.

You've got the same smoker as me, around 25-30 heat beads gets you to 250°F? About every 30 minutes add another 4-6 beads?

Yeah, I took off for a bit to get some spray bottles, one to put canola oil in and the other to put coke in to give them a periodic spray, the temp dropped significantly so I ended up nestled close by for the afternoon.
Worked out well as the wife had to forfeit her laptop and our big TV to the verandah so I could multi-task (punting/observing).

I'm playing with the fire about every 30-45 minutes, couple of extra beads in the hot spot, move some smaller burnt off ones away, add some wood to smoke etc.
Tip - If you buy the wood chunks from Bunnings stick them to the side of the fire box for 30 minutes before you put them on the heat beads, gets them nice and dry so they fire up quick and give off plenty of smoke.

So many different types out there. Suggest you find one in your price range at Bunnings or BBQ Galore then find YouTube videos for it.The Bedge wrote:Righto for those absolute nuffies at home (i.e. myself).. what would be a list of items/recommendations needed to get yourself started on one of these adventures?

Smoker. LM and I have the same one, under $200.
Bag of heat beads
Chimney to get the heat beads going. 3 or 4 fire starters in under 25-30 heat beads.
Fire lighters ( these things are excellent )
Thermometer. I grabbed one with the reader and probe separate so you can keep an eye on the temp away from the cooker.
Some wood to use in the smoker.
