Hello all,

My name is Scott, I am an Agriculture Education teacher(hince the screen name Teach). I was told about the forum from a member here.  I have been an avid griller for years, and have helped others smoke quite a bit. However I am new to smoking on my own. I have tried a little of everthing, So far I have ruined a rack of ribs, made an ok pork roast, and a couple pretty good briskets. For a smoker I have a Trager Lil Texas Elite. (College graduation present) I love the smoker just wish I knew a little more. 

Thanks,

Teach
 
 

Welcome to SMF, Glad to have you with us.


This is the place to learn, lots of good info and helpful friendly Members.
 

Many of our members have years of experience in smoking meat.  They are more than happy helping Newbies learn the art.
 

We have members who cure there own Bacon, Hams, Jerky, Snack Sticks, Make Their own Sausage, etc. if you want to learn,
this is the place. 
 

Don't be afraid to ask questions of them and follow their advice. You won't be sorry, you will be making great Q in no time at all...

Just remember, when curing your own meats follow the instructions included with the cure to the letter, this is not something to experiment with.  


Never use more cure no mater if it is Tender Quick or Cure #1 or Cure #2 than the manufacturer says to use, this can be very dangerous.
 

Tender Quick and Cure#1 or Cure #2 are not interchangeable, neither Cure #1 interchangeable with Cure #2 or vise versa
