My name is Chris. I am from Havre de Grace, MD. I am new to smoking, I just got a Barbeques Galore Bar-B-Chef offset charcoal smoker from my wife for Christmas. My friend Lance helped me set er up and get her good and seasoned. The next day i just had to try a fatty. It actually turned out pretty good, so I have made about 4 in the last week, which is not gonna help my beergut go away, but it sure does taste good. I plan on doing a pork butt this weekend, cant wait.

Tin Knocker,
Hello and a very warm welcome to the SMF!! We're glad you are here. Glad to hear that you have already seasoned that smoker and done some fattys. Those things are addictive. Also, use your imagination when making them. You can stuff them with cheeses, bacon, peppers or what ever. Lots of suggestions here on the forum. Use the "search" feature. Also, if you have been "lurking" you've probably seen references to Jeff's five day ecourse. It's really good and I would encourage you to take it. (It's free!)
So, again, welcome to the SMF! Let us hear from you often and don't forget pictures and good luck with the butt this weekend.

Welcome to the SMF Tinknocker, this is the best place to learn about anything that you can put in the smoker. Just ask and before you know it, some one will come along to help.

Welcome to SMF! It sounds like you've already got the bug.

Be sure to give yourself plenty of time for that butt. Some of them can be mighty stubborn about getting up to the temp you're looking for. Are you planning on pulling or slicing?

Man you Havre de Grace guys have your own little club going on down there!

Welcome aboard! Actually, you guys should contact a local butcher about splitting a pig or two. Save you a lot on $$ per pound!
