New guy from SoCal!!

Hi, my name is Dave. I'm a Marine EOD Tech currently in Afghanistan.

I've been learning how to smoke/BBQ thru my own experiments for a few years now. My biggest experiment so far has been a whole pig that I did in February when I was at home (Home is in PA). It didn't go as planned, the 100 lbs pig was a little to big for the grill i was using so grandma let me basically butcher it on her kitchen table. It was a fun experience for grandma and I. So i ended up just smoking the entire butt and 1 side of ribs, everyone that came over loved it. So all in all, it was a good day! But now that I've found this forum I think my knowledge will increase greatly! I look forward to learning a lot from you guys! Take it easy, and good smokin!

Welcome to SMF, Marine. Since you have completed butchering 101, I guess it is time to take you through smoking 204. Enjoy your stay here & have fun doing it.

Thank you for your service, do your job & come home safely.

Welcome aboard on the smf boat. Hey thanks alot for your service myself and familly are greatful there are folks like you doing a great job protecting are liberty's come home safe and happy smoking.

 

[raedr01]

I wish I was able to. I'd have to build my own smoker. Which wouldnt be to hard with a little ingenuity. But getting a decent cut of meet would be next to impossible. There's no pork here, and to get beef I'd have to buy the entire animal. Guess I could try a goat!

But thank you all for the welcomes! Already learning alot, thank you!
