Hey! I have been lurking for a short time now and have read a ton, got the 5 day email course, and look forward to doing some smoking. I have never smoked anything in my life, and while I am awaiting the arrival of my new large GSSM I received a free horizontal charcoal smoker from a friend. I played with it all day yesterday, sealed it up with black rtv, and I think I have it down to where I can maintain 220-250 pretty good. I am going to do a beer butt chicken (done a ton on the grill but never smoked one) using mesquite chunks. I will provide a Q view when I get going as I know how important that is.  Just wanted to say thanks for a ton of awesome info and a great site!!!
 
Welcome to SMF glad you decided to join us. Congrats on the new smoker and the hand me down too. Have fun and may all your smoke be thin and blue
 
Welcome to the SMF. I bet you can't wait to get your new smoker. Smoking is a lot of fun and you have come to the right place to learn. Good luck on the chicken today. Make sure you don't go too heavy with the mesquite as it can be very strong. A little goes a long way especially with mesquite.
 
Welcome to the SMF. Glad to have you here. Lots of good folks, great recipes and knowledge. Looking forward to your first qview.

Thanks guys, I have tried some of the BBQ recipes on here with great success so far. I am thinking just two junks on the mesquite for today...hoping to smoke the butt can chic for about 3 hours or so, maybe longer if necessary, I know I can cook it quicker, but I like the idea of low and slow

First off welcome to SMF. You'll like it here cause there are alot of really good folks that would just love to help you with anything to do with smoking. Now we like having new folks here to give a new prospective on some of the ways we do things around here. Now if you are really new then I would suggest that you sign up fir the 5-day E-course it free and it will give you the basics on smoking and a few recipes too. Here's a link to it:

http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/list/127

then you will have a method to your newly found madness and believe me it will be a madness. Then when you start smoking things you will have to learn how to post the pictures / Qview 

here. So here's a link to a tutorial on how to post your Qview so we can see what your doing.

 http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/thread/82034/how-to-post-qview-to-smf

Now the next thing you have to do is run out and get something to smoke. Then just smoke it and if you have any questions just post  them here and we will answer all your questions that you might have. Oh yea there's no stupid questions we were all there in the beginning and we just really like to help others enjoy the fabulous smoked foods that we do. So again

 

Welcome to Your New Addiction
 
Good to know that there was enough reasons for you to join the SMF. It's all good my friend.
 
Th reasons speak for themselves, that i for sure! Great group of people without a doubt. I belong to several other forums due to my vehicle hobbies, is there way to "sponsor" the site, meaning a donation to help with the cost or something. I saw Jeff's recipe's so I plan on paying for those.
