Hello from San Diego

[padronman]

Hi all!!  New here and wanted to introduce myself.  My name is Scott and I live in North County San Diego.  Been smoking for about 5 years and currently looking for new smoker and some great recipes and tips.  I have smoked meat, fish and veggies with good results but want to upgrade my smoker to a "box" style.  Look forward to being a part of this awesome board.

Welcome to SMF, Glad to have you with us.


This is the place to learn, lots of good info and helpful friendly Members.
 

Many of our members have years of experience in smoking meat.  They are more than happy helping Newbies learn the art.
 

We have members who cure there own Bacon, Hams, Jerky, Snack Sticks, Make Their own Sausage, etc. if you want to learn,
this is the place. 
 

Don't be afraid to ask questions of them and follow their advice. You won't be sorry, you will be making great Q in no time at all...

Just remember, when curing your own meats follow the instructions included with the cure to the letter, this is not something to experiment with.  


Never use more cure no mater if it is Tender Quick or Cure #1 or Cure #2 than the manufacturer says to use, this can be very dangerous.
 

Tender Quick and Cure#1 or Cure #2 are not interchangeable, neither Cure #1 interchangeable with Cure #2 or vise versa
 

Tips For New Members.

1. Go into your profile and Under Location put where you are.
2. City & State or Area & State will do. This will help members when answering your questions.
3. Go to ROLL CALL thread and tell us a little about Yourself and Experience & Equipment.
4. Do Not Post  your other questions and smokes in the Roll Call Forum.

12. Sign up for Jeff's 5-Day eCourse.  Click Here
