Hello from Va Beach, VA

[scooter-man]

Hello there, Scooter checking in from Va. Beach. I've been charcoal grilling for years (no gas grill here) and had an old electric smoker years ago. After a few smokes on my Char-Grill smoker I knew it was time to learn some more, hence, how I found this kick butt forum.

Neverless, I got a EBC for Father's day and the 'smoker bug' is back. I've been browsing this forum for a few weeks and learned so much.

Mods are in works and for now some pics of the current set up and newbie mistakes with a pork loin. I've gotten great ribs with indirect heat method off the Char-Grill. It's next on the mod list.

Late!

The Set Up

Here's the way smoking 'was' done, notice the smoke lifting over the meat... all so wrong.

I found a random pic. Mid afternoon snack.

Thanks for the warm welcomes, location in profile is updated. I made my first fattie yesterday and blew the sockets off some of my friends. 

It burped up well after todays' lunch.
