Hello everyone,

I am Bill, from Long Island, NY, I have been barbecuing since forever, mainly using my Weber to cook Turkeys on Thanksgiving, Lamb on Easter and Brisket when ever there was a sale.  I ran into this forum researching electric smokers and felt this was a place I needed to be.  I am looking forward to visiting here often.

Thanks for the welcome,  there is a lot of good information here.  I see you have a MES 40, how do you like it.   My MES 30 arrives tomorrow, and I haven't been this excited in a long while.

Hey Lance, 

Thanks for the welcome.  Our chain stores are King Kullen, Walbaums and Pathmark. There also is a chain called Western Beef that has a full on butcher shop on site which is awesome, and I have a membership to BJ's.  You're near Canadaigua, NY, I play golf up there every May with my family at Bristol Harbor.  I am also jealous of you because you have Wegmann's and I don't.

Bill
