I'm 52 and like most of you, enjoy spending time at home. We have our 15 acres in the middle of nowhere. Which is the way we like it. Perhaps it's age, but spending time outside with no neighbors is truly magical. One gets a certain high having such freedom and simple pleasures. So I thought I need a hobby that benefits the family, and can be done outside. So we decided to do dehydrating and perhaps smoking/grilling. I'm still in the early stages regarding a smoker. Let's see where this goes.
