Hi! Just wanted to know if I put a drip pan under my fatties, will the drippings be useful for gravy? More worried about killing the bugs than anything. Thanks, Daun
Hi everyone :D . I was wondering what, if any, rub should I apply to my 1st fatties and, how long should they stand seasoned before putting them on the smoker? I picked up 2 sage, 1 hot ( got the last one ) and, 1 reg. Jimmy Dean rolls earlier today. Thanks for the suggestions :) , Daun

Hi everyone! My hubby and I were discussing the merits of fire saftey when dealing with smokers on the way to the store to stock up. Even though the danger is greater with a wood burning or charcoal apparatus, this is something for everyone to concider before firing up your favorite smoker :) ...
