Another Atlanta Newb

[shnax]

Hey everybody. I've been lurking here for a while now, so I figured it was time to introduce myself. I'm fairly new to the smoking game, but after being on the forum for a few weeks, I at least know enough to look like I know what I'm doing. (Isn't that the most important part?

) I have to say, this is one of the best internet communities I've ever seen.

Santa came early for me this year and I got a shiny new MES 30, so that's what I'll be doing most of my smoking with. I did a pretty good job of getting rid of that shine this week with some chicken thighs and wings, but my first big boy smoke is going to be on Sunday. Planning on a rack of St. Louis style spare ribs using the 3-2-1 method and a batch of Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans, so be on the lookout for some Q-View. Similarly, I will be using the 5-4-3 method on a 12 pack of cold adult beverages.

Thanks for teaching me so much already and I can't wait to learn even more from all you meat smoking masters out there.

Welcome to SMF Shanks!

I have to say, that 5-4-3 method sounds like a great idea.

 You might want to start from 12 and work your way all the way down though. I think you will have better results.

Enjoy the Smoke!
