Wanted to stop in and say hi. I have been lurking here for a while and thought it was time to introduce myself.
I hunt and have always has the interest in smoking, but just thought it took too long. I don't have the lifestyle that allows me to stand a babysit a smoker for 6 hours. I have gotten more time lately and have realized that it doesn't have to be as difficult as I once thought.
I am now trying to decide what kind of smoker to purchase. I have even thought of building one just to see if it will get use. By the time I build one I could have invested the same amount of cash into a little Brinkmann. Now the only question is wether to get the electric or wood. I am thinking of getting the wood smoker. I have a hotplate and could always rig it up if I wanted to try it.
I love to cook and make jerky. Some of the stuff I have seen here had really got me thinking and joansing for a smoker. I have completed the 5 day course and am currently taking all suggestions for a first economical smoker.
Glad to be here and hope to be able to share a success story soon.
Eric
