My introduction to SMF!

[SmokinAl]

This one of the first threads I posted here on SMF!
I guess I was bored today & just started looking at old threads.
I’m glad Jeff has kept all this old stuff.
This is where I started & as you can tell everything I learned about smoking & curing, etc., were learned right here.
So we all pay it forward!

Sebring, FL - former vegetarians

Believe it or not my wife & I have been vegetarians for 30 years. Not even chiken or fish, but in our retirement we decided to try new things. We bought a 40" MES at Sam's club & with the help of SMF we have sucessfully smoked spare ribs, babybacks, turkey breast, ABT's, and our favorite corned...

Good post Al.
You have definitely left the dark side side and came to the light ! As far as smoking goes.
I've never been the daily poster but I do look back at old threads too. Often times I run across posts, threads and recall even phone conversations with friends I met here on this forum. Unfortunately some are not with us any longer.
This is a roundabout family for sure..

So I gotta ask did you ever make the sewer cooker?

 

[pit 4 brains]

Nope. The housing crash in 2008 forced us to short sell and move.
It is still on my bucket list though. I can't imagine a better bbq pit.

So, started out as a veggie, came full circle into the light as a smoker and a damn good one to boot! I for one am glad you're here Al. Your posts over the years have been very helpful in my smoking journey.
