Hello everyone. Just poppin in to introduce myself. Im fairly new to smoking but totally addicted. Just using a cheap brinkman right now and it actually has been giving good results. But what led me here is im putting plans together and gathering materials for a kick butt patio smoker. I live in texas in the country. Nearest town is 10 minutes away and they claim a population of 1442 people. Love it. Im a heavy equipment mechanic and just enjoying life with my wife and our 2 dogs. Really looking forward to getting to know yall. Jim
