Hello from Kansas

[froman]

Hello everybody. First off, I have to say that I love this site. I've been reading a lot of posts and everybody seems nice and helpful.

A little about me: my name is Danny and I live in Overland Park, KS. I've had my smoker (Oklahoma Joe's horizontal with right side firebox) for a little over a year. I mainly smoke ribs and pork butt. I really want to try my hands at a brisket but those smoke times are quite intimidating!!

Well, I gotta go check on my ribs now. I can't wait to sink my teeth into those bad boys.

Here's a pic of my smoker. She's a little rusty on the outside but she gets the job done on the inside.

Welcome, froman! It sounds like you've already spent some time getting know what SMF and its folks are all about. Ask whatever questions you run into and show us some pictures of those ribs!!!

Glad to have you with us.

Welcome froman. Good to see another Kansan here. Fine lookin smoker.
What I dont understand is if you can do pork butts why would the cook time of a briskit put you off? Always seem about the same to me.

Welcome to SMF!

Good question. I've always thought that brisket would take a lot longer to smoke. Maybe I'll give it a whirl this fall.

Welcome aboard Danny! Don't be afraid to tackle a brisket, they are worth the wait! You can also cook about any cut of beef roast in the same manner as a brisket... try it!

Welcome from the poolman over yonder in Topeka!

Hell yeah Ozark! When KU is being mentioned as a serious contender for a national championship, they are usually talking basketball. This football team is amazing! I hope that they can get the respect from the BCS that they deserve and are put in a good bowl game.
