    Newbie from Idaho- zero skills with a Smoker grille build planned out of an old truck cab/front.

    I'd like to start out by saying what a great resource this forum has been for me. I've found lots of useful info here over the last few years so I finally decided to join in with the hope of contributing my meager experience. I've had a traeger pellet grill for about 6 years and I use a home...
