Hi, I'm Dutches and from Blanchard Michigan.
I am new beyond new to smoking. We have a char-broil water smoker,that we lost the instructions to smoke due to a house fire a few years back. I am trying to figure that out along with learning to smoke meat.
I want to try and make some jerky out of the lamb meat that I have in the freezer. I raise Shetland Sheep.
We have a dead apple tree out back that I was going to use some for the wood chips and use charcoal along with it. ( I am still in the thinking stage of this part,

I hope to learn alot from all of you.

Welcome to SMF glad you joined us. I'm not familiar with your smoker but I'm sure we have some members who are and will be along to help shortly. You'll find lots of good info here and members that like to help out
 
Welcome to the forum. You must be the last and only person living in Blanchard! I haven't been there in over 35 years. Don't tell anyone, but I was born and raised just north of Remus.

Hello Dutches, welcome to the SMF! You've found the right site....poke around, read a post, ask some questions........Lot's of helpful folks here and lots to learn about throwing down a feast.
 
Wow not a lot of shepherds around now a days. Welcome to the SMF.

The apple wood should be fine as long as its dry. You're looking for thin blue smoke not billowing white smoke.

For how to build a fire, smoke some meat etc. check out Jeff's free 5 day ecourse.
Perfect for us newbies, Highly reccommended.

Also check out the other links on the left hand side of the page, some amazing stuff there.
Good luck in your smoking and if you have any problems or need some guidance this is the place to ask. We love to help other smokers learn the craft.

In return we love to see qview ( pictures of your smokes ) especially your very first smokes.
 
Welcome to the SMF family, Dutches. As GnuBee mentioned, check out the free 5-day ecourse that's offered through the site. It's helped a bunch of us launch into this awesome hobby with information on how to cook meat to the proper temps, to brining and rubbing your meats prior to smoking.

Good luck, and post questions if ya got 'em!
