Howdy From Central Texas

[mukewater]

Howdy,

I'm a new member here from Central Texas. I received a New Braunfels Hondo smoker for Christmas. I am new to smoking meat, but I am very enthusiastic to do as much as I can. I would prefer to use wood, especially mesquite, since I have ready access to as much as I can cut and use. While I will be smoking anything I can, pork will probably be my main meat, because like mesquite, I have all of it that I can catch and dress. Beef and rabbit are two other meats of major interest. Largely because of info I found on this site, I have already ordered a Maverick ET-73 thermometer which will hopefully be here soon so I can begin smoking!

Welcome to the forum Mukewater, great to have you aboard.
I'm fond of mesquite too.. a word of advice on mesquite, it's a strong wood, doesn't take much to get the smoke you need.
Looking forward to your input here on the forum.

Thanks desert! Doss is just about 100 miles from here. Just a hop, skip and a jump in Texas. Pigs and mesquite are pesky problems here that I am more than glad to do my part to help control.
