Hi all! I live in the surrounding area of Knoxville, TN and have always been a fan of smoked bbq. After trying some of my buddies BBQ off of his pellet smoker I decided to take a leap of faith and get an offset smoker. A Dyna-Glo offset wide body to be exact. It was extremely affordable as I got it used and it came with a handy Big Green Egg wireless thermometer. I read almost all 28 pages of discussion about the smoker and did a few of the mods that were recommended and today I am trying my first run! Nothing too crazy just some chicken breasts to see how I could hold the temp. So far so good, here is to hoping this goes well and my wife signs off on what I hope will be a fun hobby!
