My name is Darrin and I have been bitten by the smoking bug.  I have grilled and done some hot smoking on my old Charbroil offset smoker for years but last month I purchased a 40"MES.  I have smoked ribs and a turkey in it but since last week I have been in overdrive.  Made 25 lbs of summer sausage, 2 - 10 lb. batches of snack sticks, old fashion hotdogs, and chili dogs.  I have a pork tenderloin going in tomorrow morning and have a prime rib thawing in the fridge for New Years day, oh and I have 8 lbs of beef that has been curing since last weekend that will be getting smoked some time this week.  I am not real big into photography but as much as I enjoy looking at the pictures on this forum I may have to start.

  Good morning and welcome to the forum, from a cold, overcast and foggy day here in East Texas. Lots of great people with tons of information on just about  everything.

Good news and bad news.  The bad news is There is no cure for the smoking bug once bitten, The good news is "the bad news"

Pictures are easy, just use your phone camera
