Hi,
My name is Greg, better known as Gramps to my grand children. I live in Tennessee and a novice in smoking meat. I have an electric smoke hollow smoker I purchased from SAMs . I originally did so because of a hectic schedule I wanted the taste without the hassle of watching my smoker all day. However I kept enjoying enjoying the taste and tenderness of smoking I started looking for more recipes. I purchased Jeff s book and after trying his recipe on briskest and beans I fell in love with smoking. I also purchased a smoker because I live where I can hunt a lot and all my deer and wild turkey turn out like jerky. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I recently bought a 1/4 of a cow and I think I had a bad processor because it's grissly and tough. I don't eat that often but when I do I appreciate good food. I have read Jeff's book almost from cover to cover and look forward to interacting with other to become a better smoker. Who knows, if I do, I might not be embarrassed to invite others over for a cookout. Have a blessed day.

Greg

Welcome from SC, Greg. It's really good to have you here on this great site. If you have read the book, that's a good start. Get Jeff's E-Course for some more jump start tips. Also Jeff's recipes for rub and sauce are great. They are very user friendly and can be tweaked to your personal taste. I have taken out a little heat and added a little sweet. Still the same great stuff, but just a little change for my family and friends. The good part about buying the recipes is that the proceeds go to maintaining this site.

Good luck and keep on smokin', Joe :grilling_smilie:
