Just joined the form see my intro from details I used to smoke 7 - 8 years ago, made a lot of wild jerky - venison, goose, duck some bear. Kids were born got out of smoking. Only had a cheapy bullet style smoker. Last week, jump in with both feet and got back into the smoking game. A friend of mine has a Traeger Texas, he turned it on, I smelt the smoke and had to have one. Except I didnt want an electric smoker, I look at it as cheating a bit, call me an old soul. I bought a CG Smokin Pro, it was on sale at the local BBQ store. Friday, I decided was the day for the first smoking session, I grabbed 3 racks of ribs, and some chicken. Searched some rub recipies. I wanted to make my own so I could limit the msg, salt and hydrogenated products to zero. Smoked for about 5-6 hours turned out well Sorry I cant figure out how to post pics or I would have, theyd make the story so much better
