I don't even smell likesmoke yet

[sushislayer]

Retired USAF. Live in Jacksonville Fl, prefer OLD name of Mandarin. Griller for years, Weber kettle. Wife just bought me an Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn 3 in 1. Been eyeballing it for years. Enrolled in Jeff's course, finished day 1. Finishing up my first cook here in the next 30 minutes or so. Brats and Italian sausages. Did pretty well controlling the temp below 250, I'll get better. I figured I'd use Apple since I don't really know how to control temp or smoke yet. Hoping for the best and enjoying my Sunday afternoon.

Just here to say Hi!

BTW the red thing on top of the heap is a pepper, threw on a couple of English cut ribs we cooked earlier and finished 'em on the smoker.

Ribs cut the wrong way, across the bone. They may have a different name, not sure.

BTW, they finished really well.

thanks for the welcome. My Mother is from Lubbock, and my oldest Daughter was born in Austin. So, if they ever finish the Great Wall of Texas, I'm hoping they let me in [emoji]128513[/emoji]!
