Hey from Gladstone, Mo

Keep ending up on this site.  Seems to be the best info on smoking and grilling.  I'm Mike, 51 and have been using a Char-broil vertical smoker for about 2 years.  Really getting into it.  Smoke alot of meats during the week, sometimes the weekends and let the neighbors give me their opinion...sense their sniffers are driving them nuts..so they say!  :)   My wife, dog and extended family between here and Tennessee really enjoy ribs and chicken.  I keep looking for yet a newer smoker, however I'm unsure if I want to get a horizontal type..but I for sure want to get another vertical.  Anyone know of a great smoker of this type?  Brand?  I have thought about a trailer type, however it would probably stay in my backyard for the most part.  Mine is not stable enough to move to another location.  Its not real thick metal..maybe 1/16".  But it does hold the heat steady at 200-225F.  

So just wanted to say hi.  I've never done any competition, however a lot of people say I should.  I'm not much for crowds.   Anyone else near KC or nearby have get togethers?  

I still have lots to learn, but having a blast doing so.  

Mike
