what do i need to do with a new smoker before cooking on it?
A stovestop smoker works by sealing all the gases in the cooking device and by preventing the heat from escaping from it. This increases the temperature and speed of cooking.
Cooking meat using a slow-cooking method like smokers BBQ results in a tender, juicy piece of steak. The secret to slow-cooking is to control the temperature. You can smoke chicken, beef and turkey in a smoker and achieve excellent results. You can buy a smoker that uses charcoal, gas or electric. The higher priced models have a barbecue grill and smoker combination. Buying a smoker makes cooking meat an easy job without spending a fortune.
I checked out an other site. According to that site he is a smoker. Do not know how current that is though.
A barbecue grill smoker can take several hours or days to smoke foods completely. The placement of any smoker that is not on an elevated frame needs to be chosen carefully before cooking begins. If a smoker comes into contact with dead plants in a yard, dry wood on a deck or lawn debris then a fire can easily start as the heat accumulates. It is usually best to place a barbecue grill smoker over heat-resistant bricks that protect the ground and surrounding area.

Salmon is great to cook in a smoker. Any meat items that you've seen advertised as "smoked" is a good candidate. Just about all types of vegetables are able to be cooked in this device.
Summertime is the season for outdoor cooking. But cleaning the smoker BBQ grills afterwards can be an unpleasant task without proper instruction. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners. Purchase a stainless steel wire brush instead. On a cooled grill, vigorously brush off the dried buildup. If necessary, make a solution of 4 cups of water, 1 cup of vinegar and 1/4 cup of baking soda to apply to the food stuck on the grill.
It is mainly used for the long smoking process of meat smoking and cooking.
If you plan on building your own smoker i would stay away from this unless you have the tools to build one. The cheapest way is to buy one that is already put together. Hope this helps and thank you.

A smoker grill is designed to cook food very slowly and under the lowest heat possible. When planning on using a smoker grill to cook a large meal it is important to understand that the timing might be off by a significant amount. Factors such as the weather and the fuel that the grill is using could extend the cooking time by an hour or more. There is also a chance that the low heat could cause the fuel to stop burning. Allowing for an hour or more delay can help to ensure that food made in the smoker grill is fully cooked and that guests have realistic expectations.
