Hi
My name is Larry and I have just returned from a trip to the Ozarks and I noticed about every third house we passed between Charleston and Branson,Missouri Ther was a smoker in the yard and most were operating.
After tasting several different smoked meats from the area Iam ready to learn.We live in Washington State near Mt. St Helens We have plenty of fish,deer,turkey and elk so as time proceeds I will probably have plenty of Questions about this process.I have a insulated walk in cooler that I built and Iam thinking that I will convert it to the smoke house.
Waiting for reply.

Welcome Larry, from an old Ozark hillbilly.

Starting off with a smokeHOUSE instead of a smokER! Wow!
I saw a log smokehouse in operation recently. It used one of those little boxwood stoves as a fire/smoke source. Neat.
