Sugar Land, TX
Newbie from Sugar Land, TX.

I spend a great deal of my time with my two boys, either working with them or watching them.  You can imagine how the schedule goes, considering they play select baseball, little league baseball, swim team, football, hunting and fishing.  The rest of my time I spend with my wife and 6 month old little girl.

When I do have spare time, I try to fire up the BGE or my Firemagic grill.  Now that the boys are getting older and moving on past what I can teach them, I am getting more time to do some outdoor cooking (NICE!).  Now all I have to do is read, read, and read some more, trying to keep up with all of you guys!

Anyway, this is a great site from what I have seen, with a ton of information.

Hoping to be able to provide some contributable matter in the near future.

Thanks!

Will 
 
Welcome to SMF. There are a lot of very friendly & knowledgeable folks here to help you. I urge you to sign up for the free E-course. It will give you the basics, & even if you are an experienced smoker you may learn something new. Then start asking questions. Good luck & glad to have you aboard. Don't forget we all love Qview!  Sound like you have a lot to contribute. 
 
Will, Welcome to SMF. Since your boys moving past what you can teach them, looks like it's time to teach them the art of Smoke and Grillin'. Never to young to learn to cook!

Enjoy the smoke!
 
 

Welcome to SMF, Glad to have you with us.


This is the place to learn, lots of good info and helpful friendly Members.
 

Many of our members have years of experience in smoking meat.  They are more than happy helping Newbies learn the art.
 

We have members who cure there own Bacon, Hams, Jerky, Snack Sticks, Make Their own Sausage, etc. if you want to learn,
this is the place. 
 

Don't be afraid to ask questions of them and follow their advice. You won't be sorry, you will be making great Q in no time at all...

Just remember, when curing your own meats follow the instructions included with the cure to the letter, this is not something to experiment with.  


Never use more cure no mater if it is Tender Quick or Cure #1 or Cure #2 than the manufacturer says to use, this can be very dangerous.
 


Tender Quick and Cure#1 or Cure #2 are not interchangeable, neither Cure #1 interchangeable with Cure #2 or vise versa
