Hi from Louisiana

[smoke 2 geaux]

Hi guys. I am from Denham Springs La. (Near Baton Rouge) I have been smoking for a while casually. I have a cheapo Brinkman (R2D2) which I find myself loading to the gills on a lot of weekends, so I decided it was time to step it up a notch. I currently have a custom 48" SFB being fabricated by Mr. Bell and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I love to cook, so probably like many of you I find myself as the unofficial caterer for all my friends and family. I have a Jambalya rig that I can feed 100 out of. It's also not uncommon for me to boil 200-300 lbs of crawfish. I loved BBQ and smoked anything, so I'm looking fwd to learning a bunch on here. I have a ton of guinea pigs waiting to be fed.

Welcome to the forum. I can't wait to see some qview of your smokes and especially would love to see some qview of you making jambalya and crawfish. I spent some time down in your neck of the woods when I use to travel for work and I love the crawfish and jambalya.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have a big Jambalaya tailgate coming up next month for the LSU - Alabama baseball game. It should produce some good pics.

Nice to have another smoker from the area. My brother lives in dinky springs too.
I'm on the other side of the bridge.
This is the best site on the net to ask ?? and get tips and advice.
May have to look you up at the game.

Welcome from Slidell,

My in-laws live in Denham Springs so I try to avoid the area. Keep in touch, there are enough Louisiaina SMF members maybe we need to develop a chapter.
