A dry run is where you run your smoker without any food. This will help you gauge how long it takes your smoker to reach a certain temperature. Write down how long it takes for your smoker to reach the right temperature. Keep this for future reference.  Use a lid thermometer to keep track of the temperatures inside the smoker. Some smokers have built-in thermometers, but these can be off by 50 °F (10 °C). Some parts of a smoker are much hotter than others. If you place your thermometer near these areas, you won't get an accurate temperature reading. Some thermometers, especially electric ones, are just inaccurate or go bad. You should replace it when this happens. If the temperature inside the smoker does not match the temperature on the damper, you may have a leak. This is especially common among cheap, barrel-shaped smokers. The leaks typically occur around seams. Once you find them, seal them with gaskets or food-safe silicone. If sealing leaks did not help, try using the exhaust damper instead of the bottom ones to adjust the temperature. If the inside of the bowl or ash catcher are dirty, you will have poor airflow, which can affect the temperature. The bottom damper should also be clean to reduce clogs. If it is clogged, then you won't have enough oxygen reaching your fire, resulting in low temperatures. If your smoker tends to run too hot, leave it smoky and greasy inside. This will make it less reflective and allow it to radiate heat outside the smoker. If it is a hot or windy day, close the intake damper to reduce the temperature inside the smoker. If it is a cold day, open the damper in increase the temperature. If that doesn't help, try the following:  Hot day: move the smoker out of sunlight or shield it with a canopy or patio umbrella. Cold day: have extra fuel handy. Windy day: work downwind or move the smoker next to a wall to shield it. If your intake damper is open and the temperature has not changed for several hours, give the charcoal or firewood a stir. If that doesn't help, add some more charcoal or firewood.  Switch up the brand of fuel. Sometimes, that is all that you need to do. Not all brands are created equal.  Lump charcoal tends to burn hotter and faster than coal briquettes.  If the smoke is white, the wood may not be burning properly. Open the intake damper to allow more oxygen and create a hotter fire.

Summary: Perform a dry run the first time you use the smoker. Make sure that the thermometer is away from the edge of the grate. Search for leaks if the temperature is inaccurate. Ensure that the smoker is clean. Adjust the intake damper on hot, cold, or windy days. Check the fuel if the temperature is not rising fast enough.


After removing your makeup, wash it with a cleanser. This removes any dirt, oil, and impurities your face has acquired throughout the day. You can use the same cleanser as you did that morning. Also moisturize your face to keep it hydrated. Only wash your face twice a day. Overwashing your face can cause breakouts and break down vital skin cells. Exfoliating sloughs away dead skin cells and helps remove pore-clogging impurities that can lead to breakouts. It's important to exfoliate, but don't go overboard—1-2 times weekly is perfect. Apply an exfoliating scrub to wet skin and rub using gentle circular motions, then rinse it off and pat your skin dry.  Exfoliating too often or too vigorously can seriously irritate your skin, so be careful. If you're dealing with acne, try an exfoliating scrub that contains benzoyl peroxide.

Summary: Wash and moisturize your face at night. Exfoliate your face twice a week to reveal smooth, fresh skin.


Your baby will be delighted by your funny faces, and may try to imitate you if she can. Making funny sounds, sticking out your tongue, or twisting your face into a funny shape will be entertaining for a baby.  Babies love to be talked to and have their attention focused on you. You are likely your newborn baby’s favorite toy. A baby can be entertained by his own body, if you help him. Try laying the baby on his back, and help him clap his hands together gently. You can also hold his feet and pedal his feet back and forth as if riding a bicycle.  Talk or sing with your baby while you’re wiggling his body, or make funny faces. Try pressing your lips against the baby’s skin and blowing. This will make an entertaining sound and sensation for the baby. Keeping toys and mobiles with strongly contrasting colors (black, red, white) will help keep a baby’s attention and stimulate his developing sense of vision. Brightly colored pictures, contrasting patterns, and things that move are entertaining for a baby to look at.  The newborn baby’s visual sense is still developing, and he’s able to best focus on things 8–12 inches (20.3–30.5 cm) from his face. Farther away, his vision will be blurry. You can also hold an object in front of your baby’s face, and slowly move it back and forth. The baby’s gaze will likely follow the object happily. Babies enjoy looking at themselves, so you can offer a mirror for the baby to gaze at her own reflection. Choose one for children, which are made from durable and safe materials, rather than glass. Remember that your face is also an “interesting object” for your baby, and will be one of your newborn’s favorite toys. Most babies love to explore sounds. For example, get a set of plastic keys and jingle them in front of the baby. A baby is easily entertained by something like this. If you can’t find a set of keys, try a toy that shakes or rattles.  Other noisemakers include plastic rattles, maracas, or homemade rattles that you make yourself out of a tupperware container filled with dried rice or beans. Make sure your container is closed tightly so that no choking hazards are released. Allow your newborn to close his fingers around a rattle, and he’ll slowly start to connect his body motion with the rattling sound. Your voice will be the most soothing sound for your baby early on. Babies and infants love repetition too, so making little musical sounds over and over will be very entertaining. For example, repeat the baby’s name in a “sing-songy” voice, pitching your voice first high, then low.  Rocking your baby as you sing will make the activity more engaging for the baby. Whatever you sing frequently to your baby will help soothe and entertain him during fussy times. If you know how to sing traditional childhood lullabies, you’ll be more entertained, but know that babies will be happy to hear your voice singing or humming anything. Your baby may not have the physical coordination necessary to play early childhood games like "Itsy Bitsy Spider,” but she will likely enjoy your singing and silly facial expressions.
Summary: Make your face entertaining. Wiggle the baby’s limbs. Offer interesting things to look at. Find a noisemaker. Sing songs with your baby.
