    Howdy Folks!

    New wannabe smoker from Chicagoland/NW Indiana.  Was going to put off trying smoking till next year but after this past Sunday's BBQ Pitmaster marathon I have the itch like crazy.  Trying to ignore my impulses is not easy! I'm looking to start small so going to just put my first smoker on my...
