I joined the SMF on 11/23/09 with very little expectation about questions and answers, techniques, and such. To say I was pleasantly surprised is just about as gross an understatement as I could come up with.

I’ve gotten tips and tricks from the forums best and most respected. When my confidence needed a boost, I heard from several of the OTBS and was encouraged to not be discouraged.

The downside of what I’m about to do is leave someone out; so forgive me in advance if I do. So, hat tips to

If I left you out, don’t take it personally – my memory is not what it used to be.

For you newbies out there and there are a bunch of you – when you get a useful pointer, you can recognize it by giving a reputation bump to the author. Simply click on the scales in the upper right corner of the post and add your comment.

I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.

Thank you. I'm glad I was able to help in some small way.

Thanks but JUST keep cooking ! It's all about the food , the family of US & your family values . SMF has values and to me reflects the owner Tulsa Jeff .

I was going to say that for a list of Helpful members you should just check the OTBS Roster but then I realized that doesn't begin to say it right.

Everyone on here contributes, some more often than others, some more skilled than others, a lot of them have forgotten more about smoking than I'll ever know. Some are Newbies ( GnuBee's ) just starting out. By the newbs asking basic questions and recieving informed answers even the Lurkers can get the answers they need without having to Un-lurk from where they are comfortable.

Is that even a word??? Un-lurk = to come in out of the cold. Eventually even the long time Lurkers begin to feel like this place is home and the folks on here are family and then one day they just join in. Yahoo!

I have learned all I know about smoking sort of by osmosis just being around the smoke guru's on SMF. Thin Blue Smoke just seems to stick to you.

My list would be several hundred people long and still it wouldn't be everyone I should thank.

So ......... Thanks Everyone!!!!

I too have learned a tremendous amount just from going thru and reading then experimenting and the thing I love about this place is that there is very little bad mouthing and 100% support from everyone. Glad to be a part of this great place

Although I've been a member since last November 12, I feel like I joined another family. Everyone here has been very helpful and gracious. I'm proud to be apart of this.

I'm truely flattered for such kind recognition. Thank you!

I feel that giving back to the place that taught me so much is the least I can do, and that is what it's all about.
