Hello to all, my name is mike and live in Omaha,Nebraska and have lived here for 7yrs as that what the wife says:she think I am losing my mind. We moved here from Spokane,Washington and thats where I started the fine art of smokin. 1985 I tasted my first home smoked rainbow trout and I was hooked. The next year I start with a 1950's frigarator and brought it home and browed a pic-axes and put some vents in the top,and a heat plate in the bottom and fired the mother up. The wife said it was to ulgy and that it had to go. Then came the 2 lil chief smokers, too small... great for beef jerky,only last for 15min,30min tops.
You know how it is! Its great to read and see all the great smokers and ideas for recipes all in one place. I've placed a post in roll call about my concession van that I'm building and progressing on it on my days off. Will update photo album as I do more to it. I just like to say thanks to the people that have help me here so far and hope to return the flavor.

Hello everyone. Jeff, thanks for this great site. I am a beginner smoker and I have already learned a lot from this site. I can't wait to try out my new found knowledge this weekend on a turkey. I recently got a Masterbuilt Electric Smokehouse from Cabella's. I have already smoked a pork shoulder that turned out fantastic and I am looking forward to future smokes. I live in Kansas City so I at least know what good BBQ tastes like, I hope to be able to create my own eventually.

Thanks for the welcome. I would have to say my favorite would be Jack Stack, with Oklahoma Joe's right behind. I have tried Arthur Bryant's a few times, but I wasn't impressed in the least.

Thanks for building this sight Jeff!! It is absolutely priceless for people like me who have not gotten into the smoking meat life yet but are ready and willing to learn. I have gotten some great advice and tips from so many already.
Thanks again for building a great sight.

Thanks and Koodoos. I normally don't get into forums because of all the "I want to talk about sex and stuff", but I see only the real deal here. A true talk about BBQ site.
I don't profess to know everything but I can whip out some pretty darn good Q. Some of my recipes are a true secret and not given out, but if you stop in for a visit you'll get some very good samples.
I welcome visitors, whether from the area(luckier than those from afar) or migrating through. If you'll give a few days notice I'll not as likely appear as a Deer in the headlights and in true Texan fashion , you'll be welcomed with open arms.Really, Texans do that, even displaced ones.
I will try to remember(CRS disease) to enter a recipe or tip occasionally. As all good cooks, I cook for ME. If you like it Fantastic , if not, I appologize. And as many say " Don't trust a skinny cook!"
