Nice to meet you, from Colorado Springs

[tkdguy]

I've been smoking for a number of years with a little propane fired smoker.  This last year, I moved from California to Colorado Springs, and for Christmas my wife gave me a 22.5" WSM (yes, my wife is that awesome!).  So I've done some ribs and a brisket so far.  Any hints on smoking in high altitude and low outside temps will be appreciated.

This weekend I'm planning pulled pork.  Learning the new smoker, the best charcoal, maintaining temp, is a fun and delicious adventure.  I've already learned a lot on these forums.

Thanks all.

Welcome to the board! Funny you should mention altitude, I see that as a factor in baking but not in smoking.

  Good evening and welcome to the forum, from a rainy, windy and cold day here in East Texas. Lots of great people with tons of information on just about  everything.

Welcome to SMF and Colorado! The only thing i've come across at altitude is the use of cold smoke generators....do some research if that's the way you're going.

Smoke on
