Hello All,

New to the smokingmeatforums.  Wanted to find a place where I can pick experienced smokers brains and share some thoughts of success I may have.

I just bought the Camp Chef 18-inch Smoker (propane).  I will be putting it together some time this week.  Looking forward to making my own rub, smoking anything I can get my hands on, etc.

This is my first smoker and first time smoking.  I thank you all ahead of time.  Will be talking to you all soon enough.

Thanks all!

I put the smoker together last night.  Checked for leaks, then started it up just to see if all is working well; which it was. 

Looks like Sunday I will be giving it a trial run.  I will do a couple of ribs and a pork butt.  After that, I will do a whole chicken.

Welcome to SMF neighbor.. This is a great site to learn from... I know your new to smoking so here's something that might interest you to get some ideas... There is a BBQ competition this weekend at the fairgrounds in Palmetto.. You might want to come over and check it out and get ideas... Myself and a couple of friends have entered it as a team... come on over and introduce yourself, I will be wearing a Jack Daniels hat and we will be under a white EZ UP shelter with 2 smokers going... There will also be other activities as well... i think the Lawn Tractor Pulls are gonna be pretty good (funny)... check out the flyer below...
