Hello from Colorado

[goose]

Hi everyone! Found the site a few days ago and I gotta say, it has revitalized me.

I have always smoked my meats on a Cheap Brinkman upright. It has served us well but the bottom pan has rusted out from hard neglect. Hehehe.

I will be purchasing either a propane or electric smoker here soon and plan on smoking up a mess of food over the summer (purists forgive me). Most likely will be smoking 2-3 times a month. Once goose season kicks in I will be making a TON of goose jerky in it.

Anyway, I hope I can contribute and share some pictures at least.

Thanks and happy smoking!!!!

Looking forward to your future posts, and q-vue!

Here are some pics of chicken halves and some wings I did last year. I can't find my brisket pics anywhere. That means I gotta do some soon....

Welcome to the forum! You can't be from Grand Junction: I didn't smell your smoker going!

Welcome to SMF Goose.

Welcome Goose!!! Between you, me and Ableman (actually I think there are some others from the greater Denver area, not to exclude Lisa or Bassman), we should see who's interested in doing some competitions. I know there's the Blues and Bones festival and one up in Dillon (not sure of the dates on either) but I think it'd be fun regardless.

Welcome to the forum Goose!! Looks like some mighty good chicken you cooked up!

StarsFaninCO, I would love to go to some competitions. I don't think to compete but to enjoy the atmosphere and smoking!!! If someone was competing and I could help out, I would be happyto though.

Either way, if you find dates of some cook-offs, let me know.

I am up in Fort Collins by the way. It's nice to see a few folks from CO around here.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone.

I like to see all the CO people on here. I too am in the FoCo area. I just bought my first smoker and plan on using it tomorrow. Hope it works.

Just to contribute something in my first thread.....

This is a good basic rub I use. It stores good in a sealed plastic container but it should be long gone before it needs to be replaced. Hope you like it if you use it-

3/4 cup Paprika
1/4 cup ground black pepper
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup (white) sugar
2 tbls chili powder
2 tbls garlic powder
2 tbls onion powder
2 tsp cayenne pepper
