Wisconsin rookie

[rookiesmoker18]

Hello all,

            First post, but actually joined the site a few months ago.  Started smokin this summer and so far not too bad.  I bought a small and cheap smoker to start out with(char broil American) from wal-mart. Soon realized that I would soon need to step up to a little better model, but works for the time being.

            Anyway the reason for this post is that I just completed a few minor mods to the smoker.(extend stack closer to grates, small deflector plate by firebox) Which was not an easy task given the 20 degree temps.Would like to thank everyone for posting helpful tips and info..    GO PACKERS......

   I thought I knew how to cook, until I join this forum, I learn more in the few months reading the post here, than the years cooking on my own.

 

[sprky]

 to SMF. There is a huge wealth of knowledge here, and folks are eager to help any way they can.

I suggest you take the 5 day e-course on smoking http://www.smoking-meat.com/smoking-basics-ecourse.html. 

Even if you are not new to smoking it's a great read.

You got that right goooooo pack go. Im a die-hard cheese head living in chiefs country, and boy do i get looks when I wear my GB coat and hat, I even fly a GB flag outside. My neighbor and I shoot the breeze all the time, and he keeps telling me 1 of these days that flags gonna disappear, and he's a die-hard cowboys fan...lol
