I really enjoy this site.  Hopefully this site can help me and give me ideas on new smoking recipes, etc.  I really enjoy waterfowl hunting, hence the name.  I'm currently building a larger smoker since the smaller one from a local store just isn't big enough.  Its a 2 door commercial stainless steel freezer.  I have been making goose pepper/beer sticks with the smaller smoker.  They turn out great, I just need more room.  Next I will try venison since my whole family, and extended family, enjoys deer hunting.  I have never tried anything else really in a smoker.  I entered a family smoking pork rib contest last year and took 3rd place out of 11 entries.  I thought that was pretty good.  Hopefully this year I can do better.  Its fun all getting together sharing recipes and sampling all the contestants food.  They all are great.  Well its time to go.  Great site!  Everyone have a GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON!  Phil

Welcome aboard, Phil!

I think you will like it here with all the great smokers and game hunters we have.

I also think you have a lot to add to the forum?  Please post up some QVIEW of your smokes.  We don't see much goose being done here.

Good luck and good smoking.

First off welcome to SMF there Phil. You'll really like this place for there are a bunch of really good folks here that would just love to help you with just about anything to do with smoking meat. Then if you have any questions you just post them here or yu can try in chat for a faster answer. If you are really new to all of this I would recommend that you look up and take the e-course. It is free and it will also give you the basics on smoking. So with all that said now go and get something to smoke.

Welcome To Your New Addiction
