Hi All,
I'm an avid bbq'r and love to use my smoker as much as possible. I'll be posting pics soon of some of my more successful attempts. I've smoked ribs, shoulder, brisket, cheese, fish and even eggs. Funny thing that even the "un"successful attempts are still really tasty.
Right now I'm running a CharGriller Smokin' Pro. I'm also building a smoke generator to retrofit an older Kenmoor electric smoker. Element went out and I figure it's the perfect size to cold smoke some cheese and fish....maybe a pork belly in my near future as well.
I believe in both fuels - gas is convenient but charcoal/wood is proper. I'd rather take my time on a Saturday or Sunday and work the grill than do anything else. My favorite wood lately has been hickory. I do keep apple and cherry splits on hand as well though and there is nothing more appropriate than red oak for tritip. I'm fortunate to live in this area where there are apple orchards nearby and more than one hardwood dealer w/in an hour or so drive.
I'm looking forward to getting to know more of you and learning what I can. I've been getting Jeff's newsletters for a few years now and decided it was time to check in on the forum. Nice group ya got here.
