Hi everybody,
I came across SMF while doing online research on electric smokers. My MES hasn't even been purchased yet, so obviously I'm the newest of newbies. So even though I don't have anything to contribute yet, the members here are so friendly & helpful, I had to join instead of just lurking.
I'll probably spend most on my time in the Electric Smokers thread. I'm going to post my first question over there after this, but wanted to "play by the rules" and introduce myself here first.
I live in Gilbert, AZ (a suburb of Phoenix) and have been here since moving from New Orleans in 1971. I love to cook, and my friends think I'm pretty good at it. Several of them have big side-firebox smokers, and I want to try my hand at smoking meat & fish, but without putting something that looks like a steam locomotive in my backyard. I enjoy pretty much every legal vice that involves consumption (food, beer, wine, whiskey, cigars) and spend as much time as I can manage sailing and RVing. OK, that's more than enough about me.
Thanks to all for what I've learned here already and I'm looking forward to learning a bunch more about smoking once I have my MES.
Paul
