Hi All

I've been reading on here for a while and realised that I had never joined so here goes.

I've been using a small home made hot smoker for a few years. I've mainly smoked salmon and trout and have tried duck breasts a few times. I bought a manufactured hot smoker as I had a little incident with my second smoker and had the heat too hot under it and burnt the bottom out of the pan... Well it was too cold outside and I couldn't get the temp hot enough to cook the meat so I brought it into the kitchen and onto the gas hob...  Bad move.   The house smelled like a smoker for weeks and I burnt the base out my home made smoker.   I'm going to try some chicken thighs for a change so will be looking on here for some recipes.   

All the best from Scotland 

Dave

       Thanks for the all kind welcomes and advice. I'll be sure to do lots of lookups on here and I hope your all prepared for some real beginners questions. If I can learn from some of your mistakes maybe I'll make fewer myself.

Cheers

Dave
