Greetings from the PNW

[coach3bilz]

I am in SE Washington and have been smoking my meat for just about two years now.  I use a traeger jr smoker and love it!  Most of what I smoke consists of tri tip & pork ribs. I have done a few briskets, turkeys and pork loins.  I have just started making a few batches of venison jerky and pepper sticks.  

I look forward to reading and learning from other members to gain new ideas for smoking.

Thanks!

Ryan

Welcome to the forum! You probably already know, but here in the PNW on piece of equipment really helps a lot..... a covered BBQ area!

I smoke year round thanks to a small covered area on my back deck.... makes a huge difference during our wet winters.
