Hi from Arizona

[lancehalle]

I'm Lance, and Phoenix Az has been home for 64 years. Yup, both the wife and I are natives.

I've been grilling and BBQing for 40+ years, but this year I took the plunge into Smoking. Purchased a Trager, and so far love  it.

I am trying to get a handle on brining (chicken, fish, etc) and getting briskets to come out really tender and moist. Things like when and how much, and what rubs to use, and when sauces are best.

My best success has been baby back ribs using the 3-2-1 method and Jeff's rub.  They are nearly perfect that way, but would like to hear what others are  having success with.

Also, I'm considering cold (in Az ??) smoking. It should be easy to route the smoke from the trager into another box or BBQ. Has anyone played with this?

Looking forward to lots of good advice, and good eats,

Lance
