Hello everyone I'm Mike or (RollTide1).  Of course I'm from Alabama, to be exact Athens, AL.  I just purchased a Masterbuilt 30" electric smoker and also own a Char-Griller barrel style charcoal grill.  I've cooked several racks of ribs, burgers, chickens, etc.. on the Char-Griller, and they've turned out pretty good, but thought I would like the temp control and quicker startup that the electric smoker offers.  I've looked over this web site for the last several days and found everyone so friendly and willing to help when asked, so I thought this would be a great place to meet new friends and also learn some tricks for cooking great outdoor delicacies.  Looking forward to this experience.

Welcome to the forum and glad to have you. Great place for new and old timers alike. And always good to have another Bama fan around. Lots of MES users on here also. I've had one for years also. Holding it together with bungee cords!! Still cooks though. Will be using the big stick burner for the Tenn game this weekend!
