Greetings from a newbie smoker

[foleyflex]

Hey all. My name is Chris from Cincinnati. About the only thing I know how to smoke is cigarettes, but I'm taking my smoker out for the first time this weekend.

When trying to get some advice from my co-worker, he said "Get thee to the Smoking Meat Forums!!". So here I am. Hoping to gain some good advise so I don't accidentally poison my family.

Welcome to SMF, lots of great info & people here and I don't think you'll poison anyone either.

Hello Chris, sounds like someone gave you some good advise about joining the SMF. It's all good my friend.

Welcome to SMF Chris. Now, you make sure you smoke that poison with some hickory or mesquite before serving it up. (Just Kidding.) You won't poison anyone because of the plethera of information floating around this place. I am in a smoke zone & only been here a couple of months, I think. Anyway, Glad to have ya!!!!!
