Smoke-noob from upstate New York (Campbell/Corning)....always used others smokers and decided that for my 40th, it was time to take the plunge. Sitting now, reviewing SMF as I season the new 44" Smoke Hollow pro. Looking forward to many ribs, chickens, butts and ABT and learning from those more experienced. Many thanks to my pit-mentor/master Rob for planting the idea....yippee-kai-yay!
