Just joined smoking meat
Hi everyone! My name is Dirk. Just joined the forum and look forward to learning. I am a great griller, but novice smoker. I just purchased a Big Horn pellet smoker and have started to play with it. I live in Missouri. I would like to learn how to do some good pulled pork and summer sausage.
