Hello from Northwest Arkansas..

[oneeyedblueberry]

Hey Everybody,

How is everyone today..I am a pretty good cook but new to the world of smoking my own. I have some very good friends who are VERY GOOD and anything I do right initially, is from hanging around the smoker with them.

I am big into my kids, my motorcycle and cooking...I am hoping to drive the neighbors wild with the smoke and maybe start a little side business and maybe start competing just for the fun of it :).

My friends run Traegers and I love the "controlled" nature. I am looking to get into this a little cheaper so I am think of building and putting a Bradley smoking unit on my smoker.

So much to learn...and so little meat!!!

I am sure I will talk to you soon!!

Welcome to the smf....Glad you are into you family.....nothing brings them together like torturing them all day will the delecible smell of dinner in the smoker and making them wait all day until it is done.

Mine have actually self imposed hunger strikes for the day just so they can eat more at dinner....and I never thought I would see the day my son passed up an opportunity to eat.....Come to think of it....on the days they have waitied all day on the smoker have been the quietest meal times we have had....hmmmmm...now there is some food for thought.

First off welcome to SMF there Bubba. You'll like this place cause there are alot of good people here that would just love to help you with just about anything to do with smoking. Next if you haven't tried the E-course I would highly recommend it. It's free and very informative and it will give you the basics of smoking. the next thing you do is go grab something to smoke and if you have any questions just post them here and we will help you out licky spilt. Then grab your camera and snao some pictures (Qview here) and let us see what your smoking and what your smoking on too. So go get something to smoke.
