Hello! I just found this great forum yesterday. I decided I'd be sociable and start posting!
Grilling meat has been a long time tradition in my family. My father started making his own BBQ sauce a long time ago, and its always been a favorite of my family and whoever else tries it.
After doing a bunch of research online, I took the plunge last weekend and bought my first smoker. Its the SnP Pro.
Being the redneck that I am, if I buy something, I'm using it within the first day! So I got it home, assembled it, got it cured, and threw a pork shoulder in at 2pm in the afternoon. Big Mistake! (the first of many for the night!)
So.. a little after midnight I was pulling it off the grill. I had a nice layer of creosote (sp?) on the outside. It tasted a little funky. But, the meat inside was still wonderful. We just avoided the outer brown and we still have some leftovers!
I'm planning on making the smokestack modification sometime this week, then this sunday I'll be doing a full chicken. Hopefully I'll get the kinks worked out this time!
I'm looking forward to learning a lot from you guys!
