finally back

[diamondmarco]

Howdy all from the great state of Texas. East Texas that is. Checking in after returning from Germany last year. Spent 43 years there and in Italy. Did a lot of cooking and smoking over there. Now I get to enjoy access to BEEF at an affordable price and currently grill or smoke regularly.

I've been using a Smoke Hollow pro series gas/charcoal/work outfit that does it all, including smoking.  I just added the Masterbuilt 40" electric smoker.  Both are superb for me. Very good results with minimal adjusting of temps.

I've been reading everything I can on the site and find it a wealth of info. Thanks to all of you who made it so good.

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! 

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per Jeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!

Hello, and Welcome from a fellow East Texan. This is a great site, lots of good information and great people.

Where in East Texas do you live?

Hey Gary,

We live on Lake O' the Pines between Avinger and Jefferson. Lots of boats, trees, and BBQ. You?

 

[gary s]

Love it up there. Used to camp at Johnson Creek RV years ago.  We live in Whitehouse, about 8 miles south of the loop in Tyler about 5 min. from Lake Tyler.

Great stuff. I can see part of Johnson creek from my back yard. Getting the smoker ready for smoked bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos.  Got to spoil my neighbors !!

Sounds good, if it wasn't so far I'd pop up for a pepper or two.
