Greetings from North Texas!
I’m Cheryl (user name will show as cheryl lee) and my location is North-central Texas, just north of Dallas. I’ve only been smoking for 6 months now. I’m using a digital, electric Masterbuilt. I’ve also been devouring every word of the Smoking Meat Newsletter for the same period of time as well as peeking in on the forums, and have decided it’s time to join in. Although new to smoking, I am a pretty “well-seasoned” cook, and I'm loving adding this new dimension to my skills. I want to try it all, but since I only cook for two these days, I do have to try to keep a grip on it..........it’s not easy! I’m really looking forward to all I can learn (and all the wonderful food we will be enjoying) by becoming part of this great group!
Thought some might get a chuckle out of the fact that the first thing I ever smoked was the holiday prime rib......where did I get the nerve?!? Amazingly, it came out a perfect medium rare. My butcher still grins from ear-to-ear every time he sees me. He's a big, strapping man of color, and I'm a 5'1", 109# grandmother; and a pale one at that. He just thinks it's hysterical! (And I love him for it!)
