Hey everyone, I have been checking the forum out for a while and finally decided to join. I have been smoking meat for about a year now and have a BBQ Grillware Vertical gas smoker. So far I have done 2 briskets, 2 pork picnics, 1 butt, 5 chickens and a fattie. I started smoking because I grew up in Texas and loved BBQ and really haven't found anywhere that I like yet. What I have been doing is making enough for friends and family to have and critique and now have friends that offer to pay for one of whatever I am doing so they can have their own, my wife is refusing to cook chicken ever since the first bird I did. My smoker works good but I have decided to move on to something else I want to make a switch to charcoal and wood (just saw the side fire box mod for vert gas smokers might have to check that out). Right now my dream smoker would be a Yoder or Horizon in 20 -24in diameter range unfortunately now one carries them or an equivalent up here will probably end up building a UDS until I have the money for a yoder. Anyway great to be here and look forward to learning more.
