Hey everyone, nice to join the forums where I hope to learn the art of smoking! I love making ribs in the oven and finishing on the grill, but I always knew they were missing something. I scored a smoke vault 24 at Ace hardware for $198! (and its my christmas present) so I cant open it just yet, but rest asured, Ill get the wife to let me open it soon enough. first I need to learn a few things. Ive been reading over the forums quite a bit, so I know alot of the basics, and I cant wait to put them to the test. I live in Lyman Utah, my wife is from the philippines, and we have 2 handsome boys and one in the oven (or smoker now!) I am 30 years old so i have a lot of years ahead of me to become a seasoned pro! Oh, my real name is Shaun, you can call me smokypete or just Pete!

Wow what a great welcome! thanks everybody for the warm welcome! I could use all the warmth I can get right now! its only 10 degrees and I work outside and Im freezing! Lyman is a small town located in south central Utah. Its in Wayne county, home of Fishlake and Capital Reef.
I am currently taking the ecourse, and am on day 4 today and Ive searched and read over alot about smoking! I think Im going to open the vault next weekend and smoke a few things before christmas. I get to provide the turkey and ham for christmas dinner for the whole family so Ive got to be prepared!

thanks again and I will post pics of my first smoke!
