Greetings from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee

[walt408]

Hi all, I'm Walt from TN. I was born and raised in New York City (Queens, near JFK). I am NEW to smoking. My son-in-law got me interested and I am ready to purchase my first smoker and get started. I am searching the forums (and the internet) for information. Watch for me there.
