Welcome to the forum from Lansing cdelap.  And what a great forum it is to learn the art of smoking everything.

We have a Michigan group here.  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/groups/show/27/michigan-members-group          

If you get a chance check it out and please join if you have not done so yet.

We are having a Michigan get together this year and I hope you can make it.   There’s still time to get in the fatty throw down.

It’s always nice to see another Michigander here.

Thanks everyone!! First smoke turned out great but definitely showcased the many issues with a MES, however I knew this going in I wanted away from tending my stick burner and more or less losing the day after getting a hand me down propane vertical I realized it fits my needs better so it was a no brained to head in that direction. I'll keep a eye on the michigan group and hope to meet some of you down the road

Big MI welcome cdelap. I hear ya on the convenience. While I always bow to the stick burners, I love the convenience of my propane smokers. Good luck with whatever you end up going with.
