I keep a notebook of every smoke I do. Date, temperature, weight, where I bought the piece and what I thought about the piece after I open it up. I write down temps and times and anything that will help me the next time. I also record what I used for my rub and sauce if used, if I foiled and if i put in the cooler and for how long.
I agree its a PITA but it works for me.
