Took the plunge today

[rumblebee1967]

Bought my first smoker today, went with the @0" smoke vault as a starter.  Got it assembled this evening handmade some smoke to cure the paint.  Tomorrow I will make a run at some chicken breast.

Yep, a great start into the smoking arena.  You do know it's a slippery slope, don't cha?  Now get busy and order the ET-73 before they all disappear.

First off welcome Rumble to SMF. You'll like it here for there alot of good folks here that would just love to help you with just about anything to do with smoking meat. Nowthere is alot of really good things to learn from us here like recipes and some really tested methods that we have been using for years. Now if you are really new to the whole smoking thing I would suggest the 5-day E-course and here's a link:

It's free and very informative to new members. It will give you the basics on smoking and food prep. Now the next thing you need to do is go get something to smoke and if you have any questions just post it here or go into Chat and we will be more then willing to help you out. Now Go get something to smoke.

Rumble is my BIL.  I just put the needle valve together for him and he get's it tomorrow.  Oh yeah, he's gonna find out about the slippery slope.
