Hello from Wales

[LucasToutt]

Bore da everyone,

I'm Lucas from a small town in South Wales called Ynysybwl, (un-iss-a-bull). Just thought I'd join up and say hi. I'm new to smoking and slow cooking but have already learned a ton from these pages and all you knowledgeable people, so thank you to everyone.

So far I've tried ribs with varied success, a couple of briskets and a pork shoulder (think you colonials call them butts?) yesterday that pulled apart like butter after following the advice I read in a post here.

Many, many thanks,
Lucas.

Welcome from Wisconsin. Nice to have a British bloke around to smoke some ribs and share a pint. I have learned a treasure trove of wisdom on this page. What kind of rig are you using?

Welcome to the board! We have many UK smokers here.

Yes, "butt" and "shoulder" are both used to name the same cut.

Hi JC, It's just a (cheap) offset smoker I bought from a local garden centre, hoping that as I get better results from it the mrs will be willing to part with a more serious sum and get something like a Green Egg or Traeger.

I started with a cheap box smoker then went to an offset charcoal smoker. I caught the bbq bug and am now upgrading to a Stump Baby.
