Hello from Arkansas!

[slingerland]

I am a newbie to smoking, but earlier this year I caught the bug.  I saw the first season of BBQ Pitmasters and decided that Myron Mixon reminds me a lot of my father... horse's rump personality but secretly kind... so I started watching and trying to learn.

So far I've been using a Brinkman 4-burner gas grill to smoke, using an outside burner for indirect heat setup.  I've "successfully" smoked a pork loin, and duplicated Mixon's cupcake chicken to my family's enjoyment.  Briskets are still a challenge (my youngest child calls us the "Inglorious Brisket BBQ Team") but I'm practicing with chuck roasts for now to get my rub and technique down.

I think my next step will be purchasing a Masterbuilt GS40 propane smoker... get a better tool for the job than my big grill. I would like to move to a stickburner when I learn more.

Thanks for such a FANTASTIC forum!
