Hi to you all my name is Andy nickname Jock so telling you that I am Scottish was a waste of time. I live on a farm in Fife and got into smoking my own meat fish and game as I was fed up with the massed produced products available in the stores The terminology you use over the pond for cuts of meat differ slightly from here as I was looking at the other end for pork buts
not the shoulder

I should have asked. My smokers are all home made. In the process of constructing new wooden one similar to the one shown on the site

Hey Andy , welcome to the forum.

Welcome Jock!
Be sure to shoot some pics of your smoking adventures for us, we like to lick the monitor screen and imagine how good it is. (Usually just tastes like glass)
Show us your smokers and the new one when complete and in action.
Don't be afraid to ask if you have questions. And share what you know.
