There once was a man from Nantucket...

[captain creosote]

Actually, I'm from Virginia. My name is Tom. I'm 28. I have a brinkman vertical charcoal smoker and a hoss daddy tow behind smoker that a buddy and I welded up back in our high school days when we had too much time and some spare 55-gallon drums. I primarily smoke boston butts (pulled, carolina style), but every once and a while I'll get a wild hair and try something different.

Ahhh nice to have ya aboard! I guarentee you'll be smoking things like brisket, jalapenos, garlic, hot dogs....before long!

Welcome captin creosote! Nice username. I'm there will be alot of mixing up after reading these forums!

 

[geek with fire]

Ah, but don't forget the muskrat, popcicles, and the chewing gum!

Welcome Captain! Too much time on your hands and like to set things on fire.....you came to the right place.

 

[richtee]

LOL yeah I admit the popcicles seem a challenge.

 

[captain creosote]

I'm actually trying my first brisket this weekend. I registered to try to get some questions I had about it answered. I assumed it was just like smoking butts, but after reading the boards I'm more confused than ever.

My smoker isn't nearly as impressive as yours. In fact, I don't know if I even consider mine "hoss" anymore. Now I have smoker envy.

 

[richtee]

Welcome to the forum Captain! Looking forward to your Qviews.

Welcome to the forum.

 

[captain creosote]

I'll be sure to keep the camera handy this weekend for you guys and gals.

 

[fatback joe]

Ya know, thanks to the picture you got in your profile, I won't be able to watch the Cowboys without thinking "Captain Creosote". LOL

 

[hawgheaven]

Welcome Captain, glad you found us! You'll learn how to smoke just about anything here... including the aforementioned popsicles (they require a cold smoke...)

 

[captain creosote]

Sorry about that, Fatback.

Is it safe to assume smoking popsicles is like telling someone to find a lefthanded smoke shifter or going on a snipe hunt?
