Very interesting! I have been trying to get our local University (Derby) interested in getting some ideas off the ground, with their students.

Thanks for the warm welcome; guild invite accepted. I don't know what it is, but it seems every online group I join has an overwhelming amount of northerners...maybe they just have more time on their hands.
Hi Armin. AT LAST another real UK smoker. Everyone else here appears to be from north of Watford Gap and have very strange accents and some very weird customs ! Some even with a Texas twang! I am from Kent and in the past I think that we have built several walls to try to keep the northern heathens at bay.
It is great to see you on the forum. The big advantage of SMF is that we embrace all aspects of meat smoking and not just competition BBQ. If you are a beginner looking for advice or a seasoned smoker looking for soul mates then we are here. Please feel free to ask for advice if needed and to chip in to share your experience where you feel it will help others.
Much of the information on the forum is US focused however most of it is also totally applicable in the UK. Just a few simple things to remember - Keep your F to C temperature converter handy and remember that the US pint/gallon is 20% smaller than in the UK - who said that everything is bigger in Texas !?
Everything you see here that is available in the US is also either available here in the UK (or has a direct equivalent), and if you follow the US guidelines you will be sure to be well within the UK/EU guidelines too.
Looking forward to your contributions and we do like LOTS of photos
Cheers
Wade
