Fathers Day ~ 1st time Smoking

[363]

I've seen some of his stuff OLS. this smoker has 2 racks and I was thinking about putting some chicken on the other rack (the Spanish supermarket right down the street sells chicken legs like 10lbs for 8$), is that pushing it for a first timer or I should be okay? Also a: how to do I "maintain" the temp and when its time to add new coals do I add lit ones or add unlit ones? I am assuming lit ones but figured I would ask
