But isn't the whole fun of smoking something (other than the taste)? It gives you an excuse to sit around, do nothing (you don't feel like) and have a few brews. After all, all the baby sitting the fire really needs is every couple of hours to look if it needs an other log and throwing one in.
Not for me. I start smoking at around 9:00pm so that it is ready by lunch the next day. No way I am waking up in the middle of the night every two hours to mess with the thing.
I have a ceramic smoker and computer controlled temp system with a program I wrote ("stokerlog"). Wakes me up if the fire goes out. Otherwise, I wake up with the thing almost done. The fun is eating and enjoying the final product.
