Hay there, I've been lurking this forum for some time, feels good to actually make some posts. I'm currently on my third El Cheapo Brinkman, I know there's not much to them, but they've made some fantastic bbq for me in the past. Plus, I've always thought that it ain't about the smoker, its about the cook, so haven't been able to talk myself into anything fancier:) My favorite things to smoke are ribs, brisket, boston butt and chicken wings. Anyway, I appreciate the time you guys and gals take to share your recipies, pictures, ideas, etc......I've learned a lot over the years and am looking forward to my first "q-veiw" over the weekend, weather permitting.
