Hey everybody, my name is Andy and I live in the great area of Knoxville, Tennessee. I've been interested in smoking for about a year ever since I took a rib smoking non-credit class at the University of Tennessee with competition smoker Billy Bob Billy. I've smoked a couple things with my Dad, but mostly just helped and watched.

My first solo smoking experience was 2 weeks ago. My wife, of now 6 weeks, bought me a smoker for my birthday so I had to try it out for a house warming party we threw. I smoke using the propane vertical smoker GOSM available at WM. I hope to one day get good enough to have a good excuse to buy one with a firebox and learn that type of smoking. 

My first attempt for smoking was said to be a success. Everybody raved how great it was, however I knew there were areas to improve. I'm very overwhelmed by all the different options out there is smoking, especially on SMF, so I hope to try things out one smoke at a time and find good basics here.
