Lots of great people and knowledge in this group. Don't be shy about asking questions, or interjecting with something you've learned that may help the rest of us.

Welcome to the fun Mike! I'll echo what Cranky said already - if you need help, just ask! We've all been noobs at one time or another, and most of us learned much of what we know about smoking, grilling, and all forms of outdoor (and even indoor) cooking right here in these forums. And we all like to pay it forward by helping new folks along when we can.
