Hello from Bergen County New Jersey!

[jeffnj]

I'm Jeff, and have been visiting this forum for a few years now.  I've gotten great ideas from these discussions, and put them to good use.  I cuurently have a MES (30"), replacing my old charcoal bullet smoker.

Welcome to the SMF Family...I still have my Mom, Brother and extended family still in Jersey, Middlesex, Somerset and Union Counties, with power issues but not much water damage. Hope all is well with you and yours and you don't have to spend too much time waiting for Gas...JJ

I'm from Midland Park, in North Jersey (Bergen County).  I was extremely fortunate - we only lost power for 25 hours.  Many of our neighbors still have no power (7 days later), and the temprature is dropping.  We have had several house guests for the last few days, waiting for power to be restored to their homes.  I went fishing on a charter out of Belmar NJ, and the devestation at the shore was unbelievable - Those people are really suffering - like I said, I was extremely fortunate.

Here's a pic from my Jerky smoke, I got the idea of hanging the jerky through the grates from this forum!

And here's a brisket I did in January of this year!  I had to cut the point from the flat to fit it into my 30" MES...

Hello and welcome to SMF! Jerky and Brisky both look great!

Welcome! Good thing charcoal doesn't require electricity or gas. Down here in Oklahoma, the Mother Nature pounds on us from time to time. Looks like you guys are about to get hit again. Bummer.

I suggest you take off work a couple of days and smoke some meat!
