Hello,
I've been reading these forums on and off for a year or two and figured now was a good time to post!
Smoked occasionally over the last few years on all sorts of smokers, but nothing serious. Picked up an AMNPS a couple of months ago and loved it in the grill and for cold smoking. Wife just bought me a MES 40, not sure which model(hasn't arrived yet) for the anniversary so I figured I should get a little more serious with this and register. I think she wants more smoked food and who am I to say no?).
I plan on doing some more cold smokes soon, probably a bacon and perhaps a lox. I've done a lot of cheese, nuts, salt, pepper, butter, and sun dried tomatoes(mm!). Ah yes, and a few batches of buckboard bacon using Pop's brine. I enjoy making sausages as well and will be doing a lot more now that I have the means to smoke them properly.
Thanks for all the advice and recipes I've already experimented with - I am looking forward to a lot more!
Steve
