Smoking meat.... that sounds fun !!!

[oldschoolbbq]

Sounds like a good plan, but beware of the biggest problem with this hobby;

OBSESSIVE SMOKING DISORDER
This is a very contagious activity which never ends; it consumes weekends, spare time, boredom and generates more friends than you can shake a Rib at!!!
In an attempt to satisfy the temptations, one may find himself surrounded by friends, enjoying life, spending hard earned cash on those goodies the other guys have and finding you DO have the ability to produce “THIN BLUE SMOKE”!

Have fun and
SMOKE HAPPY

Welcome to the forum. Once you decide on the type of smoker you want/need, you will be amazed at how easy it is - with all the help and advice you will find on this forum!

Weclome Scott - good luck with the search for the new rig

 

[peanut72]

They are all limited edition collectable bottles, several worth a few hundred dollars. But the idea of having a few people over to crack a bottle open (although not one from the collector cabinets) while a nice piece of meat sits over the coals does sound like a great idea. Might wait until I get a few pieces under my belt before i have the guys over.

Ok, I think I have found my smoker.....Char Griller Smokin Pro....

As for my bottles of bourbon... I have about 50 open and 100 unopened. But believe me, i will open and enjoy every damn bottle i have.

When I have a get together, I let my guests pick the bottles. no bottles are off limits...... Bourbon is meant to be drank, not looked at !!!

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. Now it time to figure out how to use this damn smoker and make someting to serve with the whisky.

 

[jirodriguez]

Grats on your smoker choice. I have been very happy with my Char-Griller Smokin' Pro, but I strongly suggest you make the mods before you fire it up. Much cleaner to work with then... lol.
