Hello all. I was refered to his site by a buddy, and have been reading some of the posts. Seems like a cool site. I'll start with a little about myself: I like candle light dinners, long walks on the beach........oh wait wrong site intro.... I actually am a family man who has a passion for cooking outside. I am yer typical guy who likes to hunt, fish, and spend time with my wife and kiddos. I see there are some Michigan folk here and saw someones comment about that. I am a transplanted Michigander here to TX. Love both states equally. I sure miss the snow, although seems like you guys dont get what we used to. Anyway.........
I recently acquired an Oklahona Joe smoker (nothing big, the barrel type with the fire box on the side) I know very little about smoking meat. I tried some ribs and chicken halfs about 3 weeks ago with the help of my FIL, they turned out OK, but I know could have been beter. I bought some briskets on sale today and some more ribs to try in the near future whenever our constant, non-stop rain quits. I am open to suggestions, help, etc. and will post more specific questions later, I didn't want to make my first post a novel. (looks like I'm close though)
