Hello all and greetings from Colorado. Fort Collins to be exact. My name is Doug and I'm 46. I say "new" because this is my first post on this forum, or any cooking forum for that matter, but "not so new", because Ive been a backyard smoker for many years. I got my first offset smoker for a gift 20+ years ago and have really enjoyed playing around with different foods and recipes over the years. Recently however (summer 2015), I was gifted a Louisiana LG 1100 from a very gracious and wonderful friend of mine. I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I've cooked so far. Some foods have turned out better than others, but it has been a fun experience so far. Since getting the LG, the offset has been pushed aside. I did however recently make some mods to the firebox and smoke chamber (hoping to be able to maintain a better heat consistency inside the smoke chamber), and add a new coat of paint plus a shelf and new handle, and I think I'm ready to play around with charcoal again next spring. I have tons of questions about pellet smoking vs. charcoal smoking, but I know there is a huge amount of QandA's along with a ton of "experience and knowledge" on this forum, and that's why I joined. I'll poke around a little and try not to post any redundant questions. Anyway, that's a little bit about me, if you want to know more just ask away. Thanks for welcoming me into your "group".
