Hello fellow smokers.

I have been lurking here since May reading all the great information and decided to join. I come from the great northern state of Minnesota...home of Famous Dave's BBQ. Us northern smokers love our meat and love learning tips, secrets and recipe's from you southern smokers. I have been interested in cooking since I was a kid and have owned over seven cafes and restaurants during the past 25 years. I have always enjoyed eating BBQ and smoked meat, fish and seafood but never cooked that way in my restaurants.

I decided at age 57 it was time to learn a new skill so I bought my first smoker in May, a 40" electric Masterbuilt. I right away dove in head first and went smoke crazy with pork butts, pork ribs, beef ribs, chicken, turkey and my favorite...smoked salmon and shrimp!

After only 2 1/2 months I outgrew the Masterbuilt smoker and this past weekend bought a "Pellet Pro" smoker from Smoke Daddy. Wow! what a beauty this smoker is. I have already used it to smoke a pork loin, pork spare ribs and some whole chickens! Later this week my daughter is having a baptism party and asked me to bring some pulled pork for sandwiches. I cant wait to smoke a couple 8 lb bone in butts for the party. Anyone have a recipe for a good sauce to go on the pulled pork sammys?

Sorry this post is so long but as you can tell I am having a blast and am smoking up a storm! Now all I need are a few more mouths to chow down all this food!  LOL  Take care guys and thanks for all the good advice.

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! 

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per Jeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!

Here is a great choice in a sauce to offer guests to put over their pulled pork as an option -

SoFlaQuer's Pulled Pork Finishing Sauce

1 Cup Cider Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning
1 Teaspoon Course Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

Warm the Vinegar up enough so that it dissolves the Sugar well. Then add the remaining ingredients.
