Waving Hello from So California :)

[examonlyf]

Hi all....Pete Johnston from So California...(no Liberal jokes please...lol)!

Just getting started with developing a knowledge base about smoking stuff.., although I 'd consider myself pretty knowledgeable in plain ole' "grilling".

I've never tried smoking anything in my life, but I do have a brand-spankin' new Bar-B-Chef sidebox set-up that's all cured and ready to go. Now I just have to learn what the heck I'm doing...

Anyway.., looks like a great Forum. I've broused around briefly and it seems like darn near anything I'd need to know is here somewhere.

Welcome to SMF !!!
I feel fattys, meatloaf, ABT's and pork butt are some of the most forgiving smokes to start with.

Welcome to the forum Pete, glad you could join us.

You can't go wrong with a fatty. If you are smoking for more then just yourself then I'd recommend that you make more then one if you want to have any chance of actually getting to taste it.

Welcome to the SMF Family

All good information so far

We love Q-view here so be sure to post some pics of that 1st smoke

Welcome to SMF!!!! Glad you found us. Looks like your starting out with a pretty nice smoker... Make sure you read all of Jeffs info on the site like the 5-day e-course. After that you can pretty much do anything... beer can chicken, pork butt, brisket, even ribs. Make sure to search anything you have a question on or even post a question. We are all here to help...


Welcome and smoke on
