My son called me last Tuesday and asked to borrow Beula for a cook at a friend of his. Picked her up Fri. evening and had the friend with him. I explained the use of everything on Beula and the way to cook pork. Come to find out my son just got him started Sat. morning and had to leave, leaving a complete NEWBIE at the controls. To make a long story short, he listened when I was talking and everything came out great. Said the pulled pork was great, and when he brought Beula home she had been washed out and he is looking for material to make a clone of my smoker. Sounds like he's hooked after just one smoke. I also told him about SMF, guess we will have to wait and see if he is hooked good enough to reel in. Enough rambling, thought I would share this experience.
