    I haven't Smoked in 14 days

    Hi... I'm a new guy here. I'm a retired Police L.E.O. and a active Smoker. I've got an old homemade OffSet stick burner that I fire up every week or so. I also think highly of my homemade UDS.  I love them both. I've got other cookers and smokers, but the OffSet, UDS, and a old Blue Weber...
