    I've found myself enjoying a more hands-on approach as well! My Uncle said I can get a cast iron pan and use coal as the main fuel source if I wanted too. I think I'll definitely have to try that, or maybe buy another coal smoker.

    Drum roll . . . the Smoker has been bought! Thank you so much to everyone who's provided such helpful advice! I really appreciate it. I had been seriously considering the WSM. I still think it's a great smoker, and probably would enjoy having one sometime. After quite a bit of thinking, a...

    Great, thanks Bear! I appreciate your advice! I'm checking out the link now. EDIT: Wow. My jaw dropped when I saw all those links. I'm pretty sure I had the same expression on my face when someone sees a pile of cash sitting in a vault, Lol. Thank you!

    Firstly, you had such a cool childhood!! I've only dreamed about hunting, and my parents have tried their best to get me to some fields, but I haven't shot anything yet. Someday though. Imagine going hunting and shooting a deer, elk, or moose, tanning the hide, butchering the carcass (getting...

    Wowzers, talk about mods! That's great. I wish I was technical enough to get a cheap fixer-upper, but alas, I'm lacking in that area. Nice strategy though!

    Woo-hoo! I've started my smoking career! Sort of . . . Mom let me start school an hour late today and craft up a DELICIOUS BBQ Sauce. Used it on my breakfast and it was awesome (steak and two eggs). Dad used it on his steak as well, and my brother (and fellow meat enthusiast) said he was...

    Yep, reminds me of a book I read! When starting a new hobby or interest, you've got to make sure you enjoy it and it provides value to you, and if it does you've just got to stick with it even if the going gets tough/frustrating. In the end, you'll be glad you did! I definitely see how an...

    Excellent idea. I'll definitely have to implement that! By the way, is this the smoker you have? Or is it similar? That one is the Masterbuilt XL 40".

    @SmokinAl I've been checking out some of the links in your footer, and oh my goodness, they look sooooo good. So far I've seen your Hot Sauce Ribs and Smoked Beans and I'm going to bookmark 'em in my Smoking Spreadsheet, Lol. Thanks for providing those!
