Gonna do a poll for how people like to read a thread for a smoke...

Do you like the smoke to be a past smoke and the thread be all created at once ?

or do you like to follow along with the cook "live" .. meaning pictures and details as the cook is being done .. ??
 
As much as possible, I like to watch a program start to finish. Even with multi part serials, we record them then Marathon the whole series start to finish...JJ

I think both ways are fine. I don't know that I have a preference? Giving it some thought.....
 
Either is good. "Following along" gives me the excuse to visit the sight more often.
If however I'm looking for advise on the process then it's nice to just read the thread straight through...
So, I guess it depends on my intent...entertainment or education.
As a poster...I like to post as I go...it gives me something to help pass the time during the often long (and sometimes a bit boring) process and helps me remember to document and take notes.

I much prefer to see the whole process at one time. I don't like the threads that just drag on for weeks, because in most cases I never get back to them & miss the finale! The way the forum is set up now it's easy to miss a lot of good threads & I do!!

Unless the original thread creator needs some specific input to have a successful result I much prefer a single post and a concise thread title.

I hope that all of you have an enjoyable and safe Memorial Day weekend.
 
I like start to finish the most . I know this is not part of the question , but I also prefer the text above the pictures .
 
I like to follow along on a daily basis... I also like the interaction members contribute to the thread... Sometimes it makes for a 3-4 week long story.... When you get older, it's the journey that's important, not the destination..
