New guy here

[cisweld]

Howdy all. New guy to the site here. I have been Grilling and Smoking meats for more than 20 years. I have yet to learn everything..  :) I am self employed and have been for over 15 years. I do a bit of catering, and offset that time with cnc plasma cutting and Metal fabing.

 I have built food carts with full kitchens on them and do a fair amount of metal work and Blacksmithing. I am getting ready to embark on my first smoker build starting with a 275 gallon oil tank.

Nice to meet all of you in advance and have enjoyed the wealth of knowledge on here from the last few days.

Welcome to the forum from Lansing Cisweld, 

And what a great forum it is to learn the art of smoking everything.

We have a Michigan group here.  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/groups/show/27/michigan-members-group          

If you get a chance check it out and please join if you have not done so yet.

We are having a Michigan get together this year and I hope you can make it.   There’s still time to get in the fatty throw down.
