Hello all,

Between smokers right now but hope to be back into smoking in the near future. 

My background in cooking is a specialty in pastries and candy making.  This leads to a very exacting mind set.  While I can do the "little of this" and "a pinch of that" cooking well enough it isn't my favorite.  I was doing my research a few years ago and noticed that smoking/curing shared a lot of the chemistry approach I like.

First smoker was a digital Bradley 4 shelf.  Like it a lot for the small amount I made for our house.  Wore it out and picked up a bad Master smoker unit that didn't work worth beans. 

Was looking into getting a 6 shelf Bradley but while going through Pintrest I saw a couple home built cedar smokers that caught my eye and lead me here.

My favorite smoking is anything related to the pig.  Not a huge brisket fan but go gaga over home smoked bacon and butt.

My first real exposure to BBQ that wasn't grilled (that what thought BBQ was up north as a kid) hamburgers or hotdogs was when I moved to KCMO.

I do like well done brisket just that most brisket that I run into is dry.  I know a lot of people like it like that but me not so much.  So far the best brisket I've had was at a little place outside of Dublin.  Brisket was tender enough to cut with a fork but still as juicy as a grilled meat with great flavor.

Welcome!

Hang around here a while, before you know it, we'll have you smoking brisket that needs a drip tray when you slice it!

:welcome1:
 
I'm with CB on that  you can learn to cook a nice moist brisket.  I was going to Smoke one this weekend but we are supposed to be getting some much needed rain.

My smoker is out in the elements .At least till fall then #2 son will build us a patio cover
