Excited to be here!!  Looking to expand my knowledge of smoking, try new recipes, and continue this great hobby!!  Here is what i have smoked already:  Garlic Summer Sausage (from a premix seasoning), Snack Sticks, and Jalepeno Cheddar Summer Sausage.  Hoping to try more in the future!

Thanks, really looking forward to it.  Right now im using a 30" Masterbuilt Electric Smoker.  I am happy with it and seems to do a good job when the temp outside is cooler, but i think i need something bigger.  Seems i can only hang 9-10 sticks of summer sausage in there comfortably.  And the height only allows for me to fill 12" casings.

Houghton, I'll bet you have some snow pictures. My brother was at his camp in Rock on Sunday and he said it was 2-4 ft. Welcome to SMF!

Snow??  Just kidding, but seriously i dont want to hear that word again.  I don't mind snow, but im darn right sick of it this year.  We had 46" on the ground before our storm last week that gave us another 10-20.  My burn barrel in the back yard is non-existent right not....probably needs to melt a foot or so before i see that again.

I've got a foot of my burn barrel showing here in the e.u.p., not so bad I guess.
