New smoker....well, almost

[fisher]

Hey guys, I have been reading the boards for a few weeks and deciced I needed to join. I live in Bixby, Ok and I love to do most things outdoors. I am new to this, in fact I don't even have a smoker yet, but will soon. I am going to start with an Oklahoma Joe's Wild West Traditions smoker in the next month or so. I do alot of grilling and have assited on some smokes, but never have done an entire smoke myself. I brought home some smoked turkey a friend of mine cooked and my wife tried it and said......"why don't you do this?" That is all I needed, I have been looking at smokers since that day. I am going to start with the above smoker and go from there. I am sure I will want to upgrade in the future from the looks of the board. Anyway, this looks to be a great resource and I am sure I will have plenty of questions.

See you on the boards.

Fisher

Never underestimate the search button at the top, that bad boy will get you more answers to your questions than you can shake a stick at.

You have found the best place to be, that's for sure, welcome!
