I'm new to this forum, but have been smoking meats for quite a while, first with a bullet shaped water smoker, then with a weber gas grill, and now with a Masterbuilt electric smoker.  The family likes country style beef ribs and pork loin.  I smoke Italian sausage from Lovera's grocer in Krebs, OK.  I made a brisket today for the first time in a long time.  I might try making pastrami for something new.  I'm located in Tulsa, OK.  Great to be on here.

Welcome to SMF Jim!  Glad you're here.  Sounds like you'll be able to jump in with both feet and give the less experienced a helping hand with questions.  Feel free to grab as many ideas as you can for yourself for smoking variety. 

Happy Smoking,

Ray

I should have taken some pics.  I guess that shows I'm a newbie.  The meat fell apart so much as we were slicing that we ended up with a sliced/chopped/pulled brisket instead of sliced.  One issue was that we couldn't wait, so it was still piping hot when we sliced.  And I could tell the difference between the meats that reached their temperature earlier -- some of the meat hit or exceeded 200 while we were waiting on one of the pieces to reach 190.  The "Sooner" meats were the most tender.  After slicing/chopping/pulling, we placed the meat in the refrigerator.  We'll start our eating experience tonight.
