New Smoker in Niagara

[smokinz28]

Greetings all I want to learn how to smoke meat and this looks like a great place to learn. I seen a picture of a smoker made from an oak whisky barrel and decided I was going to build one. I have the barrel now and will begin construction very soon. Can you direct me to the most appropriate section for advice on building a smoker please. I'm looking forward to my first smoke. Thank you.

Welcome to the board!  There are a lot of helpful people on here and more information than you can read in a day.  One of the moderators will be here soon to give you more information, but when in doubt use the search button.  Here's a link for making the barrel smoker you are considering http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/95552/wine-barrel-uds-build-with-heavy-qview.  Good luck and post lots of pics.

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! 

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per Jeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!
