Hi my name is Mike. I am married and have three children. Smoking food has been a passion of mine for quite awhile but I really didn't get to do it as much as I liked to until about 3 years ago when I purchased my Masterbuilt electric smoker. The ease and convenience of it allows me to smoke whenever I get the urge. Just love it. I am really looking forward to reading all of your tips, tricks, recipes and information. Thank you Mike
