Hello everyone, after lurking around for a few months I decided to jump in with both feet. I am just getting started in making my own meat sticks, sausages and smoking some pork butts, ribs and brisket. I live in Michigan and use MES 40", so far it has done the job but can see something bigger and better in the future! I am excited to be here and and excited to learn all the tricks and techniques you guys can teach.
