I am from southside of Indianapolis and started a barbecue habit with a concrete block smoker assembled without mortar in my back yard.  It is absolute basic "old school" backyard barbecue, but the results were terrific once I mastered it.  I tried cooking a 100+lb whole hog one weekend just to try it.  It has been a fun learning experience ever since.

I have a reverse flow smoker and want to enter a competition.  I cook with it every chance I get to understand it better.   there is a lot published about how to build a reverse flow smoker but not a lot on how to tune it or modify it.  After all that work who wants to just share?

I like looking at pictures of smokers and the results.  I like trying new barbecue restaurants and comparing their food to mine.  I also like to try to guess ingredients in different barbecue sauces and rubs. 

Barbecue cooking is relaxing to me.  It is an art and a science.
 
Scott, welcome to SMF!  Glad you are here and jumping in asking questions with both feet.  When I started typing this welcome you had posted your Roll Call just four and a half hours ago.  Already 10 posts, asking questions about your smokers.  That's what we love!

Have fun!

Ray
