Ok ok, california lacks any title for smoking meat. it sounded good for a minute though!

Just saying hi, I have been smoking meat (mostly pork) on a small electric grill for awhile now and just recently got a Char-Griller Duo w/ Side firebox. I have found this forum very helpful and hope to learn lots more about smoking techniques.

Welcome.........to a fellow Californian.

I would have to point out though that Santa Maria, CA is in the BBQ meat map!
 ................the Tri-tip used to be mainly a cut for grinding until the Santa Maria Steak became popular across the US.....also the Santa Maria Grills are named after the California Central-coast town.

If you have any questions just post it here and we will be happy to help you in just about anyway. Heck someone might even come over and show you how to smoke a good meal to.

  As the others have already said, you've definitely found the right place for some great information and some very friendly folks who are willing to help out with even the simplest of things.  Congrats on the new smoker!  Throw you a couple slabs of ribs on there in and that nice looking smoker broke in!  
 
Welcome from Fallbrook - great looking smoker - What part of the state are ya from
 
Well to answer some of you guys, I am from the central valley, south of Fresno! I used to live up in the those burning mountains in Sonora by Yosemite! Ya that new smoker is way to clean and I will be smoking several slabs of BB ribs this weekend for the 4th. I will break it in proper! I will certainly be posting pics of the ribs after Saturday so stay tuned.... I hope I do okay on my first smoke in this beast! I am just going to take it slow and relaxed.... maybe have a beer or three.  Thank you all for the great replies, I have been lurking the forum for a couple months now and really appreciate the warm welcome.

Dean - I like my smoking monkey and your smoking pigs! I actually got that avatar for a quit smoking (cigs) forum when I quit smoking (cigs) over a year ago... but it is fitting for here...

I have a post on the pork forum about my first smoke this weekend here: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/fo...duo-w-side-fire-box-advice-please#post_516454

Thanks guys and gals!

Is that it for the Central Valley? I thought there were more cattle farms/ranches out there than just Harris Ranch..........
Click to expand...
