Hiya! I've been lurking here for a few weeks, doing research, trying to make a decision. Finally ordered my first smoker - a Smokin-It #2 - on Friday afternoon; delivery expected Monday. Really looking forward to it.

I'm located in Rochester Hills, Michigan, married, have two daughters, one step-daughter, and 10 grandkids between the three of them along with "one player to be named later" (about October 1). At least we know what our kids are doing in their spare time!

Heavily into music - both building and playing guitars and mandolins. Huge fan of vintage jazz and swing, and some classic rock as well. Also into astronomy and photography. Spend the summer in a 5th wheel with my wife and a 25-lb. black Maine Coon cat. 

Retired at 52 in 2007 after 22 years in graphic arts/public affairs at Ford; now re-employed the last five years in IT at General Motors.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I bought Jeff's rub and sauce recipes and the ecourse about two weeks ago; great stuff. I have tried to update my profile with most of what I put in my post above, but the site hangs every time I hit submit, and just stays on 'Please wait' for what seems like forever. Not sure what's up with that - tried both Chrome and IE browsers with the same result. Eventually, maybe it will work.
