I have been a lurker for a while (but only in a good way, I promise) so it is probably time to say hi to everyone.

I am pretty new to smoking and have been using my Weber kettle (Performer) with pretty good success. Just hanging out here to pick up advice and ideas from folks who have them.

Hello siddpup and welcome to the fun.  Many good folk here with a load of experience that they are more than willing to share.  If you have specific questions just start a thread and someone with experience will be along soon to offer advice.  Spend some time doing some research on the forums, tons of advice and recipes already available there.  The trial and error method works well.  We will try to help you keep the errors to a minimum since we already made them for you.  We look forward to your contributions.  Have fun.  Good luck.  Keep Smokin!

 to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us!

If you didn't read the Terms of Service notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums. Rule #11......"Off Site Links are not allowed here at SMF" is something new. There are other simple guidelines for all of us to remember as we interact here.

If you need any help roaming around here in SMF....just give me a shout.  Happy to help any time!

I have always had a good handle on the "error" part of the "trial and error" method. 

  I have already learned a lot just lurking around here for some time-so hopefully I can avoid the most common errors and move right on to the strange and bizarre ones.
