First Post on Smoking Meat

[smokenpull]

Hello All,

I just joined Smoking Meat last night.  I have been a barbecue and cooking fanatic for most of my short adult life, but just got serious about smoking within the last 3 years.  l spend just about every weekend firing up the beast to impart some succulent smoke into anything I can imagine, or get challenged to make for the office.   

I enjoy sharing thoughts on techniques and recipes as well as introducing others to GOOD barbecue that is not parboiled and covered in ketchup!  Ketchup is meant for french fries! I have also recently started grinding my own meat... YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

I am a Virginia transplant living in Southern California.  I have a Chargriller 50/50 with a side fire box, and I am addicted to smoked meat.  I have a small blog that I use to share recipes and ideas, but I will wait to get the ok before posting the URL.  Take er' easy all!

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! 

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per TulsaJeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!

Welcome from Canada.

This forum is a great place to get ideas. I have already made several things I never heard of before I started smoking and found this forum last year.

I look forward to seeing your posts.
