    Inaugural Smoke

    Thanks old school for the 2 cents. I don't know my smoker at all, luckily the wife and child left for the weekend so I could pound out some hardwood floors in the office.

    New to smoking

    Hi everybody. My name is Kyle, I live in beautiful Hood River, OR, make beer for a living, and am new to smoking. I've been messing around with smoke on both a Weber and a gas grill to decent success. I'm very interested in doing full on smoke sessions in a rig made for smoking. I'm also very...
