Howdy from the Hill Country

My name is Myles, and I am a high school Agricultural Science teacher by day and a custom knife maker by night. Over the past few years teaching we have built a few smokers and competition rigs but my students are always looking for the next project. They all seem to want to build a smoker and then expect me to be the expert on smoking meat and building the pit. (i can build it but the smoking process is still lacking) I can design and I can weld but I need to learn more on the actual cooking side of things so I figured this would be the best spot to learn the ins and outs of that and the students can also get ideas for their next project!

I am running a custom (student) built 150 gallon reverse flow. (this year's shop project)
