Hi, My name is Gene and I am new to this.

About two weeks ago, I started talking about having a turkey smoked for thanksgiving. A few days ago my wife ask if I could just do it myself.
I got to reading on the net and ended up here. All the info here convinced me I could do my own smoker.

The smoke chamber will be a New Holland grill I do not use because of how it cooks the food.
The firebox will be a Grand Gourmet portable smoker grill I bought new last night.

I should have it all assembled in a couple hours and will do a pork loin roast today as my first attempt.

I will post some pictures later today.
Thanks for all the great info on the site.

Gene

Welcome to SMF Gene! Glad you were able to find us. Cant wait to see the smoker and remember to post pics of the finshed product!

Again, welcome!
 
Welcome Gene:

You are jumping right in and that is a good sign. Sounds like you will be up to speed quickly. Reading through the Thread that is appropriate for the type meat you want to smoke, is a great way to get your feet on the ground. There will always be many examples of other people's activities and you can use that for a guide. Asking question ahead of time is another good way to generate lots of suggestions and advice.

It is hard to completely ruin a piece of meat. So just have fun. And, in a worst case scenario, just eat the evidence.

Enjoy yourself and let us see your results.

Hello Gene, and welcome to the SMF. Pescadero did an excellent job of welcoming you, and giving you some great tips. What more can i say...
 
Welcome to SMF! Remember you need to keep the temps up for the "golden crispy skin" so prized on the T-Day bird. From what I see 'round here 275's a min., some going as high as 350. I'm wondering <since you don't post a pic of the rig ya are putting together> if you'll be able to maintain that temp..or higher.
