My name is mike in Ottawa,Canada and i've been bbqing and grilling(about 18yrs) since i realized that the pork chops my dad made don't have to be dry and taste like you're chewing on a towel,and that chicken can in fact be seasoned and not just taste like burnt.
I got my first smoker about 5 years ago for xmas(my wife knew i wanted one) and it was the best gift i've ever received,and I think she'd say the same. My smoker I have now is a massive(and cheap) brinkmann off-set smoker,but it does the job and for the most part I loved having to maintain the temp and constantly be playing with the coal,it kept me busy(and away from the wife hehehe) and I really enjoyed it,however now that I have a kid and another due in a month I can't be spending hours at a time outside nor do I want to when its -25 degrees in the winter as I smoke/bbq year round outside.
I smoke pretty much anything I can think of,jerky,fish,ribs,pork chops,chicken,ground beef for chilli,hamburgers,onions,garlic,chillis. My motto is "if you can eat,you can probably smoke it!" hahaha
Im happy I stumbled across this forum and am excited to learn some new tips tricks and tastes!
