    First smoke ever!

    Here are a couple pics from when I started pulling it. I was pretty happy with the results, it had good flavor, was tender, and moist. Let me know what you think.

    My first smoker build!

    Hey all, I'm new here, and am working on my first smoker. I'm only 24 and I've never smoked before, but have been dying to do it. I'm getting close to finishing my smoker. I started with a 250 gallon fuel tank. Filled it with water and cut it. The inside was pretty sludged up so I had it...
