Well i decided I have looked at this site enough the past month trying to find a design for my first smoker that i joined finally.(by the way i think i have chosen to go with a design that resembles unclebeef's) I just got back from my second deployment and finally have a steady job, full time with the national guard in Springfield, IL, so i figured it is time I find an addictive hobby. I haven't been able to stop thinking about the designs for my smoker for the past month. Any way can't wait to bounce ideas off of everyone here.
