[chappy4o]

hey everybody, Thomas here . . . . after watching diners drive in's and dives one to many times and seeing some of the amazing things that can be done with a smoker i decided i wanted to start a new hobby for myself. thus . . . . i am here. i live in Albuquerque, NM and currently do not own a smoker (another reason i am here lol).

while i am new to the meat smoking community, i am NOT, however, new to the forum community so dont worry . . . no questions asked before searching over here . . . . and look at that . . . . . a nice big search bar . . . . . im in heaven . . . .lol

so anywhoo there is my half as$'d intro wish i could say more but . . . time to get to reading . . .

cant wait to learn to smoke . . . . meats that is
