Greetings from Dallas, Texas!

[joelq]

I have years of grilling experience on my Weber Silver B and have long been talking to my wife about wanting a smoker. Well, I guess she decided to call me on it and gave me a smoker for Father's Day! I'm glad I found this forum as I need to learn the art of smoking, and quickly! :-)

I got an Old Smokey Electric which, from what I've read is great for novices, but not exactly preferred by the purists. I'm hoping there are a few members with experience with the Old Smokey!

Looking forward to learn!

Welcome from Temple, Texas. Glad to have you here, I recieved my smoker as a wedding gift a year ago and have since spent a couple of hours on this site every week.
Everyone will answer your questions if they know it, the thing i like is that there always seems to be someone on here to help no matter how late or early.
