Long time Lurker joining the forum

[burlyos]

Hi all,

I'm Jeff from Ontario, Canada.

I've been smoking for the past 3 years and have used this site many times to get amazing tips and recipes.  

I figured I should finally join and either get more information from y'all or help give information to newbies.

I have been using a Centro Electric Smoker and it lasted almost 3 full years with a lot of use  (Just died 2 days ago).  I was very happy with it because it was easy to learn on and it was very inexpensive and provided lots of great food.  I typical did briskets, pork shoulders, ribs and chicken.

I have just recently tried cold smoking (with a small homemade charcoal starter/smoker box contraption) cheese.  Also just began smoking sausages as I got a new grinder/stuffer and curing salts for Christmas.

My priority right now is finding a smoker that fits my needs.   Room is an issue so I can't have a big unit.   Within 2 years I will probably live in a bigger property in the country with lots of space.  The dream then is to build something very large and permanent then.   

I will pour through the forums looking for tips and advice on smoker selection and maybe even consider building a small unit.

I'm looking forward to sharing my successes and failures with everyone as I navigate my way through the fine world of food smoking.

Cheers!

Jeff
