Hey Everyone!

Hi everyone.  Allan here.  Been a lurker here a long time and figured it was time i joined.

I started smoking 10 or so years ago with a Bar-B-Chef from BBQ Galore.

That gave out last year, at which point i fabricated my own stumps gravity feed clone (see pic).  I will post the build pictures in the appropriate equipment forum.

I also have a "Little Chief" for cold smoking bacon.

Lately i have been venturing into curing other meats (Pop's brine for the win).  I have a beef brisket currently brining for pastrami, and will probably try deer pastrami and some summer sausage here in a couple weeks to make room for this years harvest.  Found a gold mine of a mexican meat market close by.  Great source of inexpensive pork bellies and a beef shoulder i will use to take my first stab at homeade roast beef for slicing/sandwiches.
