.....out on the flats.....not in the mountains....
brand new to smoking, actually never have even once before.....have done alot of grilling on a propane grill, but i have been listening to the Maxim channel on the satellite radio and they talk BBQ alot and because of it i picked up Steven Raichelen's The Barbecue Bible.....well that planted the seed.....and well i ran across this at a garage sale for $50:
so i think im on my way
a bit about me.....im 26, married, have two stepdaughters(10 and 13), a 3 year old schipperke named Bear thats our third kid....the wife and i run the local weekly newspaper which we hope to be buying in the next couple of years.....i do alot of gardening both indoors and out, inside mainly consists of carnivorous plants and orchids.....outdoors, well as the wife puts it, im turning our yard into a mini orchard....have been planting about any fruit i can get my hands on that i think has a chance living through our bitterly cold winters.
the wife and i hunt and fish whenever we get a chance...hunt mainly for mule deer but elk, speed goats, birds, varmints and anything else are targeted on occasion....mainly fish for walleye but now that i have a smoker i guess ill have to try fishing deep for lake trout.....we are starting to take up bow hunting just for the hell of it(living in the middle of nowhere means finding ways to entertain yourself) and the oldest of my stepdaughters will be rifle hunting for the first time this year.....
also starting to do some home brewing, have some apple wine bottled now, a sweet mead in the fermenter and will likely be brewing a braggot shortly....
thats about it......
