Hello from Idaho

[chubbuckdoctor]

Just wanted to say HI and thanks for all the info I have gleaned from this site over the last few months. 

I bought my Masterbuilt ES 30" a few months ago. Thanks to the info from this site I have smoked chicken thighs, ribs (St Louis style), pork roast, trout, and some pork tenderloin chunks. I am very grateful for the info to help keep the family raving.

I will post some of the things I have done, I see it as a way to keep track of what I have done and what worked well and what not so much. 

Otherwise, I spend my time keeping an awesome wife happy with my time and attention. Keeping my 7 kids busy with all the different activities and directions they go. And, trying to go fishing as much as possible to keep my self sane. I am not sure it is work or not but I am good with either result at this point.

During the week, I spend most of my time helping people live better lives through the Chiropractic care that we provide. It is fun to help people get out of pain, but it is more fun to help them be able to do whatever they want to do.

Mornings and evenings, I also take care of our 20 chickens. We bought that many for the kids to take care of and sell the extra eggs for extra money. That lasted about a month. Oh well, They make me laugh and it is kind of fun.

Mostly the reason I bought a smoke is because I burn everything on a grill and I wanted more control. So far, very pleased.

Again, thanks to everyone on the site for their info.

Jeremy

Wow, seven kids and twenty chickens and a job. You need fishing and smoking to keep you sane.

You have already found out there is great information on this site. I only started smoking last fall and didn't have much success until I found this forum. 

If I could make a suggestion, one way I learned a lot was posting pictures and descriptions of my projects. The advice and new ideas I got were very helpful.

Welcome to the forum.

I played around with the idea of not signing up but what changed my mind was the idea of using my posts as a journal of sorts. An easy way to keep track of what I did, what worked for me, what others modified and worked for them. That way I do not have to spend hours looking up new ideas for each piece of meat. (OK, I will probably still look for new ideas. But I won't have to spend hours doing it.)

Glad I am here.
