hi all from swpa

[fatrat71]

Hello everybody new to the forum but I know a little bit about smoking, not sure if its right or wrong but the foods good! I was told to say a little bit about myself. I'm a happy father of 4 with a beautiful wife and a happy home! I've been playing around with grilling and smoking for a few years now and have built 3 smokers total with each 1 being better then the last. I've kinda become addicted to smoking and try to do something every wkend. For my next build I'm hoping to do a pig roaster but have no clue how to begin! When I figure the forum out I will be asking for opinions and insight into this process and look forward to some info,thanks again for having me.

Hey, FatRat71. That's how we say hi down here in Georgia. Like "Hey, how y'all doin'?" I had a friend years ago from PA and he would say like, "Hi, how yens doing?" You northerners with your funny accents...

Enough about funny talk, I want to welcome you to the forum. I am new to smoking, so I have a lot to learn. What I like most about this forum is all of the different opinions people have about what's good and how to smoke it. Before I joined smokingmeatforum, I thought I was pretty good on the grill, then I started using the recipes and techniques I found here and everyone started really complimenting my cooking. I guess my original recipes weren't so good after all. The point I'm trying to make is don't hold back, if you have a recipe or way of doing something that works, please share it in the forum so us rookies can learn something. That goes double for the smoker build.

Thx for the welcome grill monkey,and yes there is a lot of us up here that say yens! My wife and aren't 1 of them! As far as the smoking I'm probably.not as good as I think either but I really enjoy standing beside my smoker and trying new things! And the little bit of knowledge I have I will gladly share with anyone that asks. As far as the new build I will definitely be posting progress as it happens. Thx again
