    At a smoking crossroads

    Hello, Ive been smoking for a few years now and I thought I would introduce myself. I'm in South Texas, Near Mexico. Brisket is kinda my thing. I've got a Chargriller Wranger model that I put a SFB on. It's lasted me about 5 years. A few seasons ago I did some mods. I caulked the seams, built a...
