First time I ever showed up on time for a Roll Call

[justinp]

Hey everyone,

I just signed up this morning. Nice place ya got here. Appears to be a great bunch, I'm looking forward to kicking ideas around with all of you.

I did a bunch of sausage making, smoking and curing for many years, then it started to be less and less the last few years and I need to remedy that problem.

My last smoker was a wood framed smoke house that has a stainless liner. It was heated with LP gas and all manual controlled.But it was a permanent structure and I have moved to a new house.

I have an old all enameled tin fridge that I have had for at least 12-14 years and it is about to become a smoker finally. 

This one will be electric heated, probably controlled with a PID controller. It will also have a smoke generator for cold smoking, and more control of the smoke while hot smoking.

I have a small hobby machine shop and a professional woodworking shop, so time is really the only limiting factor for me. How fancy it gets will be determined by how much time I decide to stick into it. My past smokehouses have be quick, ugly,and functional. So I would like to pretty this one up a bit.

Not sure I want to be a member of any club that would let me join, but hey Thanks!

Welcome aboard!

My brother had big time problems with roll call.  He would be found sleeping (passed out?) in the assembly area.

Oh well, he had a good time?

Good luck and good smoking.

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome.

Next time you see me remind me and I will buy you all a beer, or share a homebrew with you.
