Hi my name is Don and my nickname was from an old dirt track racing car.  I have dabbled with smoking meat on and off for years.  I have recently started back and want to get serious.  I have been looking for a hobby besides my love affair with Harley-Davidson Motorcycles.  I have been riding for 45 years and I find myself sticking a little closer to home so I am looking forward to learning the "ways of the smoker"  LOL  I live and play in Chesterfield VA.

Thanks for reading...

Hello and Welcome to our addiction.  A word of warning: There is no 12 step program for this one!  Many good folk here with a load of experience that they are more than willing to share.  If you have specific questions just start a thread and someone with experience will be along soon to offer advice.  All info you can provide us with such as smoker type, location and so on will help us answer any questions you may have, and pictures help a bunch.  Spend some time doing some research on the forums, tons of advice and recipes already available there.  Check out Jeff’s 5 day smoking E-Course ( link below ) that will help you get started.  We look forward to your contributions.  Have fun.  Good luck.  Keep Smokin!

Hey Don, hello and welcome from East Texas. Smoking is a great hobby, really never thought of it that way, since we grill and smoke all the time, but it is addictive. I find myself thinking about my next smoke before i'm finished with the one I am doing.
