Hello fellow meat heads!

Just stumbled on this site looking for a recipe and decided to join and see what I could learn or maybe even contribute.

I live in the far west suburbs of Chicago, where my wife and I have a big garden and raise chickens for eggs. I always loved Grilling but never really got into smoking until we picked up our Big Green Egg about 4 years ago.


We just built this table for it this year.

We buy all of our meat whole animal from a local farmer who pasture raises all his animals, grass fed etc.. We end up getting a lot of cuts that we haven't had in the past and it requires us to get a bit creative. I look forward to learning a bit more about smoking and other ways of cooking strange cuts.

Thanks

Jacoby

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! Love the set up.....nice!

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

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 and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per Jeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!

Welcome to the forums, Jacoby!  That Qview looks delicious!  

This is the best place I know for sharing ideas on smoking, grilling, curing, etc.  There are plenty of friendly, knowledgeable folks who really enjoy helping one another.  Looking forward to your input here.
