Hi all, new to the forum. Actually found it through a google search for charcoal smokers. Live in Chicago city limits. Don't / Can't own smokers or charcoal grills right now because of my apartment but that doesn't stop me from using my Dad's Weber kettle and my cousin's WSM. Usually cook for 10 people though last year threw down a good cook for 20 folks (4 beer can chicken's, lots of rib tips, and 12 racks of ribs). Had four grills going in 90+ degree heat which was fun. Planning on investing in a smoker soon to use at my rents until I have a place that allows charcoal.

Thanks,

Mike
