Hi all!

I am new to the site. I have been grilling for a long time but have always been interested in smoking. I plan on building my own smoker if all goes well.

I look forward to learmning from and sharing with everyone.

Everyone here enjoys seeing the Qview so be sure to post plenty of pics... Large ones that us old people with bad eyes can see.

When you uploading to Photobucket I always use the Large IMG setting, 640 x 480 it is a nice size...

Glad to have you, Ryphraph.

Whether it is technique, recipes, feedback or just a supportive response to the occasional Q-gone-wild you cannot find a better resource than SMF.

Any idea what type of smoker you plan to build?

I have 2 55 gallon barrels and a garage full of metal and welding gear. I plan on doing a charcoal/wood burner grill/smoker. I know it sounds ambitious and I won't be able to really explain it until it's built but I will post pics.
