First welcome to SMF, What kind of smoker do you have.
As of now I dont have a smoker. I got sick of what butchers charge so i have started doing my own butchering. I have a neighbor who lets me use his equipment but its time to get my own. I hope to get a few ideas on what would best fit my situation. I am green as a gourd when it comes to smoking meat.

You'll get a lot of help here. What do you like to smoke? Do you want to buy or, can you build? I never knew there were so many options.

WElcome to the site cross8,

Like allready said, dont worry to much about the spelling thing, spell checker is the only thing that even makes it look as if I know how to spell.

I got my eye on an old freezer, I think it is aluminum on the in side. its alot wider then a standard uprite but just as tall and deep. used a old freezer to make some jerky when i was a kid, dont even know what happened to that one but its gone.

I'm as green as you.  Got my first smoker a couple weeks ago.  Only smoked a couple meals so far (both great!).  So I'll be learning with you.  I just want to welcome you to the SMF as well.

Have a great time here!
