G’day, my name is Mike. I’m from the Ottawa Valley in Ontario, Canada.

I’ve been a lurker here on smokingmeatforums for a while and have visited other websites too, but I always find myself coming back here so I’m signing up. I’ve been to alot of forums and I can honestly say I think this one is one of the friendliest I’ve ever seen.

I am a newbie to smoking, but really like the taste of smoked food. I have made lots of beef, venison and moose jerky in the past with the oven and with a dehydrator, but always used liquid smoke.

As you can tell from my signature, I love bacon

As soon as I saw a Fattie on here, I had to make one. The 1st was for the family a month ago and it was a success. Then I made 2 more two weeks ago for a party down the street and they were both gone in minutes.

Everyone loved them. They were all made in the oven so I can’t wait to taste how much better they will be smoked!

That’s enough about me for now. I’ll be in the “UDS Build” section of the site for the next while.

and will post lots of pics of the process. Tips along the way will be welcomed.
 
Hello Mike, and welcome to the SMF. Once you have a FATTY, you never go back. It's all good my friend.
 
Welcome Mike to SMF. If you play hockey and love bacon, then we may as well be long lost brothers.
Looking forward to seeing some more Moose smokes from your neck of the woods.

Mike- I just went back and watched the video in your signature and lauged my A** off at work!!! Thanks for posting that, I needed it.

Here's a link to photobucket it's free and easy to download pictures. Then if your really new to smoking Look up the E-course.
