    New to here, but not a total newbie...

    Hey all, I found these forums a while ago, and finally decided to join after being a ghost for a while.  I have done quite a few canadian bacon, pork ribs, cowboy roasts, etc, and want to branch out a little.   I have a large smoker that I think was built from a bun oven with a smoke pan added...
