Hello, I'm new!

[deerducksmoker]

Hi!  I've been lurking here for quite some time and now I'm starting to build my smoker (from an old fridge), hopefully in time for deer season.  I've read a lot of stuff here and learned quite a bit from the community, thank you!  I can't wait to try my hand at smoking.  My only experience thus far is making goose sausage and smoking some snack sticks with a charcoal smoker I borrowed from a friend.  I get a lot of meat from wild game so having a nice reliable smoker will be awesome.  If you can take a look at my thread and provide any insight or tips that you have I'd really appreciate it!

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! You will get much more help in the Builds area (which I have noticed the guys are helping) than here.  BUT....glad that you took the time to join us here.

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 Jeff. 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!
