Hi everyone,

My name is Virgil and I live in Southeast Texas.  One cannot live in Texas and not know about smoked meat/barbeque.  I have been grilling/smoking for a long time now but it has been mainly by trial and error.  I found this site because I want to know much more about smoking and want to get into other types of smoking - not just grilling/barbeque.  I have for many years wanted to build a smokehouse and smoke bacon, ham, corned beef, cheese, etc.  This sort of smoking seemed like a lost art until I found this site and http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com.  Already I have learned much and realize that I can learn a lot more.  I currently use a horizontal wood/charcoal grill.  It is a smaller one and does not have an external firebox.  I am considering a more hi-tech device like an electrical, charcoal, propane with thermostatic controls but want to learn more before making a final choice.  I am wondering if there are any options available that allow hot and cold smoking in the same unit.
 
Welcome aboard Virgil. Glad to have you here!! There are some incredibly nice, and extremely knowledgable, folks here. With an AMNPS I don't see where you wouldn't be able to hot or cold smoke in any type of unit. Especially with some of the mods you'll see on here (i.e. mailbox mod). Again,

Thanks everyone!  RoadKill - I think I figured out that AMNPS is the amazing pellet smoker?  It looks like a great way to achieve low temperature smoke in almost any grill/smoker.  Thanks for the tip!
 
You got it Virgil,

The AMNPS is the A-MAZE-N Pellet Smoker and it's a handy little tool for cold smoking.

Welcome aboard. Looking forward to seeing your future pics (Q-view)
