Welcome! from NC
Glad you found us, and hope you will feel right at home. Lots of places to explore here.
So - don't be bashful. We need comments, suggestions, tips - and questions, so that we all continue to learn.
And...have fun. We all have a sense of humor here, and there is no "one right way" for anything. That adds flexibility so you can use several methods on different cookers with predictable results. Most have several kinds of cookers, and we have no prejudices against any.
