Any Illini Smokers out there?

[bjake2001]

Hello all!

My name is Brian, I live in Champaign, IL (Go Illini!), and am fairly novice at smoking.  I've spent a good amount of time with a beer in hand waiting on some steaks to finish grilling, but so far have only smoked a few times on a small water smoker.  It's time to move up in the world!

I'll be posting plans for a RF smoker build, and would love any input!

Hello and welcome from East Texas. This is a great site, lots of information and great people that are willing to throw in their two cents worth on about anything.   [/h1][h1]  [/h1][h1]Gary[/h1]

Welcome to the forum from Quincy. My wife can dance the entire Chief Illiniwek dance, every step, but I guess that is no longer PC. This Redbird will just say howdy.
