Newb in Nebraska

[gabriel]

Hey, my name is Gabriel, I'm 28, and I live in Omaha, Nebraska. I just started smoking recently after wanting a smoker for several years. My friend's dad always smoked food around holidays and I always wanted to learn how to make food that delicous.

I have a Charbroil Silver Smoker, Charbroil, and Grill
Product Number: 07201560

I'm pretty new and looking to learn alot from the forum. Already things are looking up, since this appears to be a very active forum, which I will love!

Thanks,
Gabe

Howdy.!

Actually I'm in Bellevue, but for simplicitys sake, I just say Omaha.

Welcome aboard. How many smokes do you have under your belt?

I'm still a total newb as well. I've used my brand new Brinkman smoke n pit a grand total of 4 times.. and once was just to grill some burgers.

Each time was mouth watering delicious.

Welcome to the smf gabriel. You are in the best place to learn. There is a wealth of information here.

I'd been using a smoker for over 3 years. Then i found this place and found out what i'd been doing wrong.

Welcome aboard.

I've only smoked once, I did a 5lb brisket that ended up somewhat tough but smokey and still pretty damn good, and some pork ribs. I didn't have a temp gauge, so keeping my temp was impossible. I've since ordered that and hope my next experience will be a little better.

I have some friends coming over this weekend, one of which is a vegetarian and another is not a huge fan of pork, and I'm debating my upcoming smoked dinner this weekend.

 

[master_dman]

You'll get sucked in pretty quick.

I don't know what I'm doing next.. I have 10 lbs of chicken quarters.. two whole chickens.. and 10 lbs of featherbones.

I think I'll be doing the whole chickens... I got the idea from here.. and just can't get it out of my head.

Welcome, from NE Nebraska myself.

Hey Bowvalley, know anyone around eastern or south central area who sells cheaper smoking woods? I would like to go to all wood smoking and get entirely away from charcoal except just to start my fire.
