I am a Network Admin by day, father/husband at night, but enjoy grilling/smoking meat in any free time I have. Nothing like enjoying your favorite beverage while tending to a smoker for several hours and sharing the fruit of your labor later with family and friends. I have always borrowed large trailer smokers from friends in the past when I wanted to smoke some shoulders, butts, drunken chickens, ribs or the occasional whole hog. I would consider myself at the intermediate skill level with smoking and I am excited to learn from other members here. I recently purchased an OK Joe Longhorn and I look forward to testing/learning my new smoker. I have done several of the mods to my OK Joe that I found on this forum and hope to get it burned in/seasoned this week so I can smoke some meat this weekend!
