Hello from Palos Heights Illinois. I'm new to smoking and looking forward to learning this new hobby. I can't believe all the info and friendly people I have found on this site. So far I have done 4 briskets and experimented with cold smoking cheese. I am using a Brinkmann ECP which was bought for me as a fathers day gift a long time ago. I'm to embarrest to tell you how many years it has been. I wish I would of took the time to learn this hobby, instead of doing my other hobbies....Mike
