JohnnyBigSmoke is glad to be back and has some big news!!!

[johnnybigsmoke]

It's been such a long time since I've logged on that I felt compelled to drop by roll call to say "Hi" to all you smokaholics out there!

I originally signed up as an aspiring restaurant owner who wanted to learn more about the art and science of smoking deliciousness. With the help of everyone @ SMF , I am now in the process of opening my first restaurant / bar. It will be a long road till the grand opening but we are in the process of making this dream a reality.

I would like to take a moment to say a big "Thank You!" to all of you for your great posts, fantastic pictures and phenomenal advice. For all of you in the Toronto area or anyone willing to travel, there will always be a warm seat, hot SMOKED food and a cold beer waiting for you. Details will follow as soon as the lease is signed (which should be by mid 2011!!!).

Thanks again SMF and to each and every one it's members!
