I've been reading quite a bit and learning lots recently. I've recently stepped up my game from small Brinkman torpedos to a full-sized trailer deal with a 80-100 gallon tank. It is pretty awesome looking, we just picked it up last night so no good pics...yet!

Anyway, I'm in Dothan, Alabama, a transplant having lived up and down the east coast and both side of Florida. I've eaten lots of BBQ and the wife wanted me/us to deepen our foray into the wonderful world of charcuterie and to save gas. my wife is from Louisiana so pilgrimages to the mother land are required to stock up on basics like andoulle, boudin, tasso, ect. Gas was killing me. So with my culinary skills, and a few purchases later we have arrived at (or close to) nirvana. Everything to make sausage, and cure meats is mostly ready. I have the equipment, and most of the supplies.

With our purchase last night we are_ that much_ (pinch index and thumb together) closer.

The Grill is great but it is just that a grill, but with very few mods it will be a smoke belching beast.

I'll post my questions later in the correct forum. I just wanted to stop by and say howdy!

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! Would you mind updating your profile to show the other SMF members where you are located? Advertise that you are in the best Part of Alabama!  LA!  Also...we do have an Alabama Group and would like for you to join! We are hoping to have a get together for the group some time soon!

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!
