Hello from PA

[fdpiper]

Hi, just logged on to learn. I have been grilling a lot and have a natural gas grill piped into the house gas system. We started doing long slow cooking a couple years ago on the gas grill. We love doing the rotisserie with chicken (and when I am home alone, duck and rabbit).  I will be having a little more time to do more, and would like to get a smoker. Not sure what I want to get, I was thinking charcoal and wood; the kids think electric. I would like to learn more about rubs and making BBQ sauces. My wife is mild, I like a little more zip.

I hope to search the archives and join in as I learn more. I am sure there is a lot of good information here with all the experienced folks that are posting.

Thanks. All the best!

Thanks C Farmer,

I will keep an eye on the PA smoker pages. For now, I will continue to use my gas grill. We have a brisket to do possibly this weekend. I usually stoke up the grill hot and sear the outside of a marinated and rubbed brisket. Then put in a foil pan, and cook with only two outside burners on low and 3 inner shut off totally. I put chips in foil over the firing burners to get some flavor. It runs at about 200F for 8-9 hours. Comes out great.

Maybe for Christmas, a smoker will come down the chimney.

All the best!

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! 

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per TulsaJeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!

Thanks SeenRed and KatherynN,

While I cannot say I am smoking, I do like to grill, and hope to start smoking big time soon.

All the best,
