Hello all....just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks in advance for the answers and advise I'll be getting I hope. I've been cooking, grilling and smoking for 20 years or so and just purchased my first dedicated smoker. I bought the Smokin-It #3 after doing a fair amount of research and reading through the forum posts. I had been using my Big Green Egg to smoke but needed a larger smoking capacity. In addition to smoking, I also make my own jerky and dehydrated fruits and vegetables. I'm looking forward to learning and sharing with you all. Here's to summer coming soon :)
