Good Morning!

Hello ... My Name is Rita

think you all have every smiley on the web but

I am into preserving just about everything ... Canning, dehydrating, now my new obsession is smoking

  I also quilt and garden .. I moderate a country living forum ... I don't know if links are allowed so I will not post any .I am from northern Massachusetts and my husband and I hae our own small business rebuilding industrial machinery .

I have just gotten the GOSM and am going to attempt to make and cure salami .. To start out with I am going to toss on some ribs today .. spent yesterday curing the smoker and was impressed on how it held the heat so well in 30 mph winds ..

I am fairly new to the smoking world but if you can make food on it I am usually good to go ... we used to use our grill for smoking ..

I have been snooping around here for a few weeks and decided to join in all the fun ...
