    Ribs and chicken.

    These two monster racks (almost 4lbs each) and some skinless thighs are on the menu for dinner tonight. I rubbed the ribs with a new concoction of 17 spices. The basis of it is one I've tried before with a few additions. It's gonna be a good day!

    Pecan brisket.

    I gave this a good rub last night and it went in at 7:00 this morning with pecan chips. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. More to come!

    First ribs.

I used the same rub I put together for brisket and also picked up a pound of salmon fillet for my daughter and girlfriend which will go in when there's about an hour left on the ribs. Cornbread, baked beans...

    First few smokes.

    I tried to be practical and disciplined so rather than ruin a $30 brisket I started out with chicken quarters. Mesquite chips and a light rub. I stayed up until 1am waiting with great anticipation. I'd give them a B- compared to other smoked chicken I've had. A good start I think.

    Hello from frozen NH.

    I just found this forum while looking for some smoking tips and it looks like I found the right place. My awesome girlfriend gave me a beast of a smoker for Christmas and I've had success with chicken, salmon and brisket so far. Put the last piece of a 15lber in this morning actually. Next is...
