My name is Tony and I'm from Concord, NC.  As most of you know, NC is big on BBQ and there are several ways to enjoy it.  You have Eastern and Western.  Eastern being Vinegar based and Western being more of a sauce, ketchup based.  I don't have a preference I just love it.  I moved to NC from NY in 1997 and took a love to BBQ.  Problem was as odd as it sounds I couldn't find a half way decent BBQ joint in the Charlotte area.  The few that were here started smoking the BBQ with an electric smoker and I wasn't impressed.  Therefore I decided like most things, if you want it done right, do it yourself.  I will say I'm not a novice anymore and I put A LOT of love into smoking Boston Butts as I believe those are my strong point.  I've had people buy me the pork butts and beg me to smoke them for them so I guess I'm doing something right as well as most of you!  I'm branching out now to trying venison summer sausage and venison snack sticks so I will be reading up on how to do those.

I'm very old school and enjoy smoking pork butts with wood and some charcoal.  This is and can be an all day affair and usually is for me.  I have a Brinkmann smoker with the side fire box and really enjoy it.  I'm contemplating on getting a Bradley smoker or something similar for doing sausage as I think using the smoker I have will be to much of a challenge that I'm not sure I'm up for.

Thank you.....

Welcome Tony

Doing sausage on a wood burner isn't any problem at all   Just burn a smaller fire and maybe crack open the smoke chamber a bit to let out the excess heat.  Look forward to your Qview!

Hello fellow meat lovers! My name is Alan and I live in Old Trap, NC. For Christmas, my wife bought a Masterbuilt analog electric smoker I had been looking at on Cabelas.com. It was on sale and we had a free shipping coupon so it seemed like a great deal. I'm relatively new to smoking however I have slow-cooked a whole hog over a period of 11 hrs. I look forward to learning form the vast expanse of knowledge here on this forum and I only hope that I can contribute in some way. Thanks guys!
