New to the forum. Been lurking for a little while. Signed up and couldn't post on my phone. So finally downloaded tapatalk. I've never liked this app. And don't use it for any of my other forums. But this one won't work on my phone. So I had to.

Little about me. I'm a beer brewer and wine maker. Hobby scale. Ride motorcycles, Camp, and anything else I can outside. Including cooking.

I'm not new to the smoking scene. I've just been away from it for a while. I guess I got my start from my grandpa. He was an avid smoker. Operated a few BarBQ joints over the years. He cooked most all the dinners. Well the meat parts anyway. And he inlisted me to do the rub before hand. So I got a taste for it early. He passed when I was still in school. And took all his recipes to the grave with him. I started smoking on my own. When I went out on my own. Started with a little brinkman 20+ years ago. Made a killer smoked turkey back then. But I just couldn't get the country cut ribs down. Was my grandpas favorite as mine too. I wore that smoker out. And didn't replace it. Had grills. Just hadn't had a smoker for a long time. Until recently. A friend gifted me a gas vertical smoker. Used but hardly ever used. Well having it got me gung Ho to get back into this fine art. I've since worked out a rub very similar to my grandpas. As I remember it. And now my country cut ribs are kickin but. I built a cold smoke generator and added it to the smoker. I've since smoked some cheese and chilies for my home made chili powder. I make my own chili powder for my homemade Tamalies. I've been looking for a good old refrigerator. That I cold convert into a good sized smoker. Something I had helped grandpa do back in the day. And low and behold I found two today. Blew a tire on the trailer. And a power steering hose on the suburban. Getting them home. But I got them. And can't wait to start in on them. I know one will become the smoker. The other one not sure yet. I'm thinking I will move my keggerator equipment over to it. It would make a cool keggerator for the brew room.

As soon as I figure this tapatalk crap. I will post up some pics of my gear.

 

I have never had such a hard time with a forum before. I belong to 7 others. And none give me as many problems as this one. I can't post any text on the website. But I can post one pic at a time. Tapatalk I can post text but can't post pics. Ugh.
I looked for a Mobil app. But couldn't find anything? Maybe if someone could point me in the right direction. I would appreciate it.

Now for the pics.
First one is of my small gas smoker.
Second is my cold smoke generator mounted on the side.
Third is some country cut ribs. I smoked them while camping in Arkansas last month.
Fourth was the cheese I smoked after adding the cold smoke generator.
Fifth chili peppers, garlic, black pepper, sea salt, and whole cumin.
Sixth the two fridges I picked up today. The one on the right will be my smoker project.

 

Today offerings. Changed up my rub this time. Included some of my smoked chili powder.
