    For sure! We're all friends and neighbors here. It's good to meet you. -Humdinger Martin, Thanks so much for sharing your marinade. Aldi has a great A1 generic for $1/bottle so I will definitely try it. One question though; what temp do you smoke it at and for how long? Thanks Humdinger

    I need some ideas
