    First Smoke on new Smoker - piggy

    So I got this smoker up and running... wife decided a shoulder was a good victim and in her words "if it doesn't work, we can order Chinese food"...

    Hello from Huntsville from a newby

    Yes, we are liking it so far. A big change from MN, but no snow to shovel or blow is nice. Family is a long way off, so that makes for some long road trips with the kids. From Michigan? We have a number of friends from there that moved down. At least there is hockey here :) Kids like that...
