OK, I've been lurking here for several days and it's (pardon the
expression) _fired up_ my ambitions to get at least semi-good at this
smoking and barbequing thing. But I'm clueless as to how to start. My
learning style is 'read about it in a book then try it', and I have a
Silver Smoker to try it with. Since I've been using Usenet for a long
time, I know that asking for advice will usually bring _lots_ of
suggestions. So, anyone care to give me some pointers on where/how to
start? A good book? Some helpful URLs? The name of a good psychiatrist?

TIA...
