Greetings Everyone!

So much great information on here! I am new to the forum but not new to smoking meat. I've been banking the coals on my old Weber to smoke brisket, ribs, chicken, etc. for a few years. I received a little red Charbroil H2O smoker a few months ago and I'm learning how to use it. I live in Chula Vista, CA (the Southern part of San Diego County) where we have many months of BBQ-friendly weather. My family loves my work but my poor neighbors keep checking to see if our house is on fire!

Nice to be here!

I found this site this week and now I feel I have a place I can get great info!!!!

I bought my first smoker 2-weeks ago. I got a Brickman electric. I was blown away. The bad part was I had to use in it in the front of the house and it was limited to the amount of food. Great unit, just needed to get it to the back yard where I have the grill and tunes. I bumbed up to the GOSM big gas unit today and set it up out back. I'm seasoning the unit now. I'M SO HAPPY!!!

The bad part is I have smoked soooooo much food, we can't eat that fast. Still playing with rubs and sauces and having the time of my life. This site has been a big help in learning.

I've done some mods to the new cooker because of this site. I've used the small smoke box that came with it and turned it upside down over the side handle as a shelf for the meat thermo. Works out nice.
I've also found a great valve at HD to read the propane tank. Well worth the cost. Check out the pixs.
