New to SMF, new to smoking

[reannalynne]

I live in Pittsburgh, PA and am VERY new at smoking. I have not even used the smoker yet that we received for Xmas. My husband is used to smoking on our propane grill with indirect heat and has tried our smoker once and did not succeed. The smoker that we have is the upright green Master Forge $60 from Lowes. I am looking forward to getting advice on how to use this smoker. Thanks!

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!

You have come to the right place.

I only started smoking last fall and didn't have much success until I found this forum. If I had a problem or question, I always got help and good advice. 

I recommend you dive in and start posting some of your projects with pictures and descriptions. You will get great advice and new ideas from the responses.

Welcome to SMF.
