Hi from Jordan from Toronto

[luxury pete]

Heyo,

My name is Jordan aka Luxury Pete (don't ask where that name came from, I'm not that luxurious). I'm from Toronto, ON, Canada.

I recently bought a place with a decent sized patio where I can add a smoker to go with my Q. I have tried forever to get a decent rack of smoked ribs out of my grill but as you could imagine results were less than fantastic. So finally I will be able to do things right.

Right now I'm evaluating what I want to buy for the new pad. So far I think an electric smoker would make the most sense. I'd like to get the Cookshack SM025, but the price is on the high side. I am not afraid to pay for quality/Made in USA, but I'm still evaluating my options.

I'll check back in when I have questions and when I eventually start smoking everything in sight. Glad to have found this site.

So I finally got my Smoker. Its the non-window version of the MES 30, or at least that’s what I believe it is—looks exactly the same but without the window, and over a hundred bucks cheaper.

I seasoned it on the weekend, and am going to jump into this smoking thing with side ribs. I haven’t gotten my AMNPS yet, so I’ll be using chips in the chip tray.

Here is a picture of my three Q’s

My first smoke, some backs from the freezer with a rub I threw on last night. I'll get my amnps tomorrow, but for today I'm using the built in chip burner. I'm not expecting much, but it'll be a learning experience.
