Hello all!

[lord of the ring]

Hi Guys, first time on the smoking meat forum! Just moved to Florida in hopes of fortune, fame, and of course great BBQ. Having a fun time getting my smoker out there by my condo's pool on the weekends and attracting a crowd. Seems to help a lot with meeting people and occupying my time. I have a WSM and I love it! Best piece of equipment I own other than my vintage Infinity speakers. I am having one problem though and thats finding a good BBQ supply store down here with a good selection of wood. Super Wal-Mart officially does not have everything! If anyone knows the wood scoop in the Orlando area I would be grateful. Thanks again!

Smoking is reason enough that god loves us and wants us to be happy!

Thanks Richtee, doing some smokin for the folks at the pool tomorrow. pretty excited about it. Just gotta find some wood other than hickory and mesquite. can't seem to find a BBQ supply store. I may just have to rely on the fact that the internet is probably the best place to find wood.

Hey I got some orange here... traded with a member down there. I kinda like it with poultry... and the live oak works too...

I'll have to check out the orange wood situation. In fact I had BBQ at a place that used it the other day and thought it was a very mild imparting citrusy wood. I'm starting to realize that in my quest for good BBQ wood i'm goin to have to get creative.

Hey Richtee, what's this OTBS thing all about??

Howdy LR and welcome to SMF. We'll need some q-view of your smoke by the pool and not just of the food if you know what I'm driving at.

Hey Crzn i'm gonna be at it tomorrow bright and early. They flock to it like seagulls to a fishing boat. BBQ and eye candy poolside is pretty close to paradise if there ever was one. Will def share some q-view after this smoke!

Thanks Richtee, I am totally impressed! I like the part about reaching the point of Zen when it comes to smoking.

Hi Vlap, I'm in orlando. how bout you? Is that redfish your holding up?

 

[waysideranch]

Welcome LOTR. Send photos of your smoker surrounded by young ladies in bikinis. Thanks. Land locked and hating it.

 

[lord of the ring]

Will do my best wayside, these days at the pool with coolers full of beer and smokers full of BBQ can turn up situations I never imagined.

 

[vlap]

Sounds like a good time!

Are people here strongly against marinating chicken pre-smoke? I was thinking about doing a soy/citrus asian concoction that I still haven't settled on yet for my smoke on saturday. That along with the standard spareribs, no marinade on the ribs though.
