Hello to all on this web site...It's great to be here...A real smokin MAN CAVE!!

My name is Chris, I live in a very small town called Etna, in the mountains of northern California..(about 60 miles from the Oregon border).

I have been brewing my own beer for the last 3 years now and think of myself as a brewmaster in my own way.....Now the next best thing to go with beer is smoked ribs.

I have had many BBQ's over the years but never a smoker. Our old gas grill is on it's last leg and it is time to replace. My wife and I decided to go with a charcoal Grill/smoker.After 3 weeks of surfing the web and going into stores and checking out all the models available around here, I came up with this. Char-griller Smoking Pro, with side fire box. We should get it by the 10th of this month..Walmart $168.00 free ship..


I am looking forward to putting it together and doing some modifacation's on it before I season the smoker.

you all have a great day....brew dude
