Hi, I just joined up as we bought a Char-Broil 625 charcoal grill/smoker and am looking for tips and tricks. I've been using propane grills for years but now that I'm back with charcoal (the wife resisted for years for some reason - probably because the ease and cost of propane) my 15 year old daughter doesn't want me to grill with anything else. I tried my first set of baby back ribs yesterday and they were so-so. Don't think the cut was the best and I'm sure I'm going to have trial and error. My smoker doesnot have a separate firebox, so I went with soaked chery chips over the coals. Smelled damn good! I hope to read through a bunch of threads here for recipe and cooking advice. Looking forward to it. I'm in Methuen, MA, right on the MA/NH border.

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?  You will probably meet a few neighbors here!

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 TulsaJeff. 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!
