Dont believe I introduced myself here. Been lurking around getting some opionions and checking out the forums. I'm retired and live in Salem  NE Ohio. Been smoking off and on for quite a few years. Got into sausage,jerky and sticks mostly. My neighbor started me back at it recently. Have a brinkman and a larger grill type. My neighbor has a refrig and a small smoker not sure who made it. We do a lot of venison and steelhead together. Decided Im going to buy a new smoker and add a pid for more control on sausage and other meats. Since looking at this site and a couple others I realize how little Ive been into and there is a lot to learn. Very nice site keep up the good work! Im sure Im going to learn a lot.

Welcome to SMF, Glad to have you with us.


This is the place to learn, lots of good info and helpful friendly Members.
 

Many of our members have years of experience in smoking meat.  They are more than happy helping Newbies learn the art.
 

We have members who cure there own Bacon, Hams, Jerky, Snack Sticks, Make Their own Sausage, etc. if you want to learn,
this is the place. 
 

Don't be afraid to ask questions of them and follow their advice. You won't be sorry, you will be making great Q in no time at all...

Just remember, when curing your own meats follow the instructions included with the cure to the letter, this is not something to experiment with.  


Never use more cure no mater if it is Tender Quick or Cure #1 or Cure #2 than the manufacturer says to use, this can be very dangerous.
 


Tender Quick and Cure#1 or Cure #2 are not interchangeable, neither Cure #1 interchangeable with Cure #2 or vise versa

Welcome back!! The Bradley is a good smoker.. I enjoy using it now and then and we have others here who use it exclusively. The main thing is that you are back and life seems to be dealing you a decent hand.. That's always a good thing

Glad to have you here!
 
Well thanks all for the welcome. Well life has nothing to do with the cards your dealt. Its all in how you play them. After a divorce then remarried got diseases that really screw things up. Along with bad discs in neck and back. But their are a lot worse off then me. After all I did wake up this morning. Lol I do what I can. And making meats is one of my favorite things to do. So hope to get to know some of you better and sharing advise and recipes.
