Hello from Long Island

[gusto]

Hello Everyone,
from LI, NY and always loved smoked foods, been BBQ'ing for years and wanted to try smoking. I purchase a Brinkmann Gourmet ( I realize it's a less expensive type but wanted too just give it a try) I will do the mods on it. My first smoke attempt Sunday didn't go too well, from what I'm reading on this awesome site is too much white smoke and blacken food

, I will read further!!!!

You'll like it here cause there are abunch of good folks here that would just love to help you out with just about anything to do with smoking. We really like to have newbies here because they can bring in a new propective to how things are done. There's nothing like a new set of eyes to give and new way to make things that little differant to make things alittle better. So I hope you know about the Qview here.

Gus, welcome to the forum. I've also had some challenges with my ECB. There's plenty of help here; all you have to do is ask.

I'd also suggest the 5 day e course. It will get you pointed in the right direction.
