Hello all- Happy to be here

[tgor]

Hey there,

I am new to the smoking meat community as I received a much wanted electric smoker for Christmas. The smoker is a Master-Built - Digital Smokehouse. 

I am from N. KY near Cincinnati, Ohio.

I picked up some smoking chips last night and I am looking forward to trying my new smoker out this weekend since the weather is supposed to be very nice here.... I may also sneak out for a quick ride on my motorcycle too

Well guys I was a bit under the weather for a few days (seems like weeks) and finally kicked it enough to play around again with the smoker. I did a 4 lb pork shoulder butt for pulled pork. Had it smoking with mesquite for approximately 6 hours. The results were, well...... AMAZING!! see for yourself
