    Moose Knoll Farm

    Fun it is, Brian! And it never stops. Piney, there is a bit of advice that no amount of pictures can show. If I remember correctly you plan on livestock. Plan your living and animal spaces around your prevailing winds. One thing I do here that has proven invaluable is a good sized clear cut...

    Newbie smoker from Illinois.

    Don't let winter stop you! My Big Block GOSM gets in a smoke or two in the winter. And I plow snow for the state of Vermont. Busy times! Just have to get a windbreak around it and watch the temp. And NEVER trust the thermometer on the door! Good luck and welcome to the SMF Family Cheers!
