I remember a thread ahwile back about how we got into this great hobby, thought I would do a poll on this subject.
Tell us your story....
Here is mine.
I was a die hard gas grill guy (steaks, dogs, sausage, burgers) I wanted them done quickly. A Friend of mine taught me how to use charcoal instead of gas (I was a total newb with charcoal), didn't even know how to light it, please do not laugh. The year was 2007. Still only doin' steaks and such, not smokin' yet.
Then came 2008 a guy at work informed me if you want fall off the bone ribs then just wrap them in foil the whole time. That is what I did every time, still no smoke yet. I did buy a Silver Smoker w/SFB and had them wrapped in foil the whole time with no wood, just charcoal. They did fall off the bone too much.
Then came November of 2009. That month changed my life for ever (I really mean it), I found this Great Forum and bought a 22.5" WSM. I smoke with wood and lump now. I have came a long way with your help.
My Thanks goes out to the SMF Members
