Hello.
I've read a lot of the threads in SMF and now I'm ready to participate in the forums so, I created an account today.
I have a CharGriller 5050 with side fire box. I mostly smoke poultry or grill whatever on it (I can't control the temps well enough to do anything that takes low-n-slow.). I also used it to cold smoke about 20 lbs of cheese around Christmas (extra sharp cheddar and pepperjack gave me the best results.) I recently purchased the Masterbuilt GS40 but I haven't even had a chance to season that yet. I like to use apple, oak and hickory wood as it's fairly easy to get locally. I have some plum trees on property and have used some wood from that and like it as well as I like apple.
I'd like to have a summer of smoke and do several butts and ribs. My problem is finding blocks of time to watch low-n-slow smokes, but I suppose as I get more familiar with using the GS40, I won't have as much of an issue.
