Hi from the Great White North

[grizz63]

I'm in Saskatchewan, Canada, So it's not great grilling weather here now (-25C ~-15F), but that doesn't stop me from thinking about smoking/curing meat. I've been an avid BBQ enthusiast for years, pellet, keg, WSM, etc but lately I've started down the sausage road. Temp control for smoking at lower temps has been an issue so I'm looking at an electric smoker. Also getting interested in curing meats so looking at building a curing chamber. Mr Google lead me here and it looks like many of you have been down this path so im here to learn from you all, both what to do and what not to do.

Hello from Nova Scotia

You found the right place and yes there is a lot of rabbit holes to go down in the world of meats and smoking etc.

When you have questions just ask and someone will be around to help and or steer you in the right direction.

Welcome from BC. Lots of friendly knowledgeable folks here.

I'm in the same boat as you with the snow and cold weather, though smoking season is just around the corner

Welcome from central Florida. Yeah, I won't brag about current temps. Summer we tuck tail and go back to NW Minnesota
Saskatchewan goes almost to the arctic tundra. Southern populous area is pretty nice in the summer months.

Welcome aboard, I always thought Moose Jaw was the coolest name for a city. Not to mention that one of my favorite players to watch was from there(even though he played for the wrong NY team) Clark Gillies.

G63, welcome from NH, I live close to the Canadian border and smoke all winter long. Look into a PK Pro 100 smoker, temps go down to 60 and up to 250. Insulated and can produce good products no matter the outside temps.

I met him years ago on a golf course, nice guy. My wife also worked with Bobby Nystrom in his post hockey days as a health insurance executive.
