Got turned on to this site/forum by my buddy "flyin'illini" Glen. Been trying for the past couple of years, but haven't had much opportunity to smoke much of anything. I live vicariously through BBQ episodes on the Food Network, Travel Network, and anywhere else I can find it.

Equipment: an unnamed charcoal bullet smoker I picked up at a yard sale; a Rival KC Smoker electric smoker I got for Christmas two years ago; a homemade ceramic pot contraption that I "fire" using either the element from a countertop grill (hot) or a hotplate (hot, hotter, hottest).

Goals: Memphis in May (at least to sample); build my own brick pit or a hog-sized travel rig (gotta learn some masonry and welding first... then I gotta find the giant propane tank to convert... then I gotta recover from the "therapeutic beating" I will likely receive from mi esposa, but I digress).

Currently gearing up for Memorial Day, which I hope includes a brisket, a Boston butt, and maybe a chicken or two.
 
Welcome to the forum. You have come to the right place learn. It's filled with a ton of people the are always willing to help.

Hey Buck, welcome to the SMF. Great place to hang out and you'll get great info on anything you want to smoke or want to build. I want to do Memphis in May some day also.
 
Hia Buck! Great friend ya got there. Had the pleasure of meeting him and having him help out our team at the Eagle cook a couple weeks back.

Welcome to SMF, and as ya prolly already know we love to help and sometimes just chew the fat!
 
Welcome. Sounds like you have good aspirations. I too would like to make it to Memphis in May but it is a good haul from SW Virginia, so I may have to try some closer. No, what you mean about the wife. However I just tell mine that she has her hobbies like talking on the phone, buying clothes and scrapbooks. Cooking (especially grillin and smoking) is about the only the I have that resembles a hobby. Good luck on what ever you decided to build.
 
welcome! I grew up in Livonia
