How is everyone doing? My name is Dan, and I am from Levittown PA. I just bought a propane charbroil 580 cubic inch smoker. The only experience I have with smoking food has been eating it. So I may ask a lot of questions that may seem silly to some, but please bear with me. I learn quick.

Welcome Dan. I think we can all say we have plenty of experience eating smoked food. Now it's time to broaden your horizons and learn how to prepare it. The first time you smoke something and then pull it off the smoker after a long period of time of drooling and anticipation. You let it rest for however long, the drooling and anticipation continues. You get anxious cause you're not sure how it turned out. Trust me, it all pays off when everyone in your family is having a conversation with words like...

MMM

Oh-My-God

Oh, etc.

That's when you will be bit and bit hard. You will be wanting to smoke something everyday and looking to smoke whatever you can think of. Good Luck and enjoy it. It is a blast.

Hi Dan...no such thing as a silly question - now,  you may get a few silly answers...

 to the SMF, the best BBQ site on the web.  Whatever you need to know about the fine art of BBQ you can find it right here, from recipes to technical knowledge.

One thing you need to know about us is that we like to see pictures of your creations and your gear.  We call it Q-View and its basically the 

!!!

So, don't just talk about your food, show it!  Otherwise you may get a gentle reminder, like this...

  or this...

Good Luck and Get Smokin'
