Been lurking for a couple of weeks...maybe a month while I was doing research on which Smoker I should purchase.
I made a decision and ordered an MES for my first smoker. Contemplated the Big Green Egg but decided that if I really liked this hobby I would make the plunge a little later this year.
I did my first smoke last Saturday with some spareribs. I used the 3-2-1 method and thought they turned out fairly well. They were very tender but a little too smokey. I think I had the damper closed to much. I am going to try some pork this weekend and maybe a fattie for munching.
This is a new hobby for me and I am just settling in. I bought two books... Peace, Love and BBQ and Smoke and Spice. I am just starting to go through them.
My other hobbies include Golf, British cars (I have a 60 MGA and a 74 TR6 currently) and working around the house (put in a pool and patio last year and finishing the walkout basement this year).
I love food and cooking so I am certain that I will like smoking after I get the hang of it.
Thanks for all the tips so far and I look forward to sharing my experiences with everyone
