Hello from Kendall County Illinois

[jez5635]

My name is Jim and I am a novice smoker.  Have a Brinkman Gourmet smoker that I picked up on craigslist, brand new for $50. I think it's a good deal and a good "starter smoker". Tried it a few times, smoked a pork shoulder, turkey and brisket so far.  Ran across this site searching for a good rub and sauce for pulled pork.  I want to learn how to make and smoke sausage so you will be hearing from me in the near future.

Thanks for the welcomes.  I've been on the site numerous times since joining and got a lot of good techniques and questions answered just looking through the threads.  I also got rid of my Brinkman charcol smoker and got a Masterbuilt electric.  Hope to try it out this weekend and make some smoked polish sausage
