Hi! Newbie from a dinky little town Northeast of Pittsburgh, PA here.
First, allow me to thank everyone for sharing their recipes, techniques and experiences. It has made the process of beginning to smoke a truly painless and less frightening endeavor! And to say what a pleasure it is to be here!
I lurked for a while before finally deciding to cave and buy a smoker. I purchased the Masterbuilt 30" electric. My boys asked me why I bought it. They truly thought I had lost my mind. I delivered it to myself a few weeks ago (I am a courier when I am not sleeping and being mom). The weather finally calmed down enough last weekend so that I could break it out and give it a shot. I smoked 2 pork shoulders and I have to say, they turned out great! I am quite impressed with this thing. I have no pictures as my boys tore into them after a brief 20 minute resting period...there was nothing remotely appetizing left to photograph when they were done. Now, they want to know what is going in next and when. Huh, guess mom didn't lose her mind after all! :) Chicken is on the menu for tomorrow.
