Hello!  I have been researching making central texas style menu for my son's high school graduation party.  He is a new Longhorn at Univ. of Texas, and requested texas BBQ for his party.  After watching many youtubes, and clicking on many links, I realized that many brought me to this forum.

I have commandeered the Masterbuilt 30" smoker I gifted to my father for Xmas a couple of years ago.  It has been sitting still in the box in his garage.  I have taken the smoker back, purchased a cold smoke kit, and a couple of wireless thermometer probes.  

In the past week, I have experimented w/ smoking some "fresh" andouille sausages at the grocery store for my gumbo, and make some cold smoked salmon.   My son just smoked his first brisket (started last night, and finished this afternoon).

Looking forward to learning what else I can do with the smoker!
 
Welcome to the board! Many people here are using that smoker, use the Search here to look it up and get some ideas.

I found SMF the same way as you, it kept coming up on searches so I took the plunge and joined.

  Good afternoon and welcome to the forum from a beautiful sunny day here in East Texas, and the best site on the web.

        Lots of great people with tons of information on just about everything.

New to smoking myself.....if its meat it all can be smoke. Did a wonderful Pork butt last week. Pork shoulder,briskets,ribs,even suckling pigs. I have done over 30 whole hogs. Depends on you grille cooking area. Mt Char-griller Competition Pro has almost 1100 square inches and you can do a suckling pig. I have been having a ball with my new venture. Good food takes time...sometimes 10-18 hrs but well worth the wait. Experiment and have fun doing it. I learned a lot from this sight. Enjoy
