New Guy

[gonavybbq]

Just wanted to introduce myself.  I've been into bbq and smoking for about 7 years.  I've learned mostly from my old man.  I have an old offset charbroil smoker/grill.  I mainly use charcoal and wood chunks (mesquite/hickory).  I currently am stationed in Great Lakes, IL and moved here from south Georgia.

Anyhow I've been on the looking on the forum for advice about setting my vents, and thought this site was awesome and decided to join up.  I'm smoking 3 pork shoulders and 3 racks of pork spare ribs. 

Ya'll have a good one!

Alright boys and girls.

Thanks for the warm reception.  This site and forum are great.

I didn't realize the "qveiw" was needed for proof.  So here ya go. 

The pork shoulders came out great.  I started w/ charcoal then added mesquite chunks.  Then used "real wood" Charcaol and more mesquite for the rest of the cooking time.  I made mustard based and vinegar based sauces.  The ribs were done in w/ a fire on one side of the grill cavity using charcoal and cherry wood chips.  I used a rub then apple cider/apple cider vinegar mop during cooking on those. 

Alll in all a good day.  The pic is the left overs!  (I always make 3 times too much food)
