I was referred to this website on yahoo because either my smoker is having issues, or my in-experience is causing me to have issues. I'm active duty Navy stationed out here on NAS Lemoore. Look forward to poking around this site a little bit.

edit: I have a Char-Broil brand smoker with the side loader for charcoal/wood chips. I've also only been messing around with it for about 2 weeks but am very interested in this hobby. I'm from Memphis, TN and would like to be able to make at least as good a BBQ as what comes from out that way.

Will

Thanks for the replies. I am looking through the 5 day course already trying to absorb everything I can. Once again I look forward to what I can find out on this site.

Gooose53 - Army, in my opinion, isn't as good as the Navy but at least it's not the Air Force! oorah.

Thanks again everyone. I've already absorbed tons of great knowledge from here. I had actually surfed this site before, but was completly unaware of the forum portion of it.
