New member - New at smoking

[chrisw2012]

Hello,

       My name is Chris and I live on the West Coast (San Francisco Bay Area).  I am very new to smoking meat...I have not done it at all yet, however, I have been reading many books, articles, and of course navigated all through the Smoking-Meat.com website.  I am going to try and smoke meat on my Weber Genesis Gas Grill, I have heard it may be easier (starting out) with this type of equipment only because I can regulate the temperature just by adjusting the gas.  I have purchased a smoke box and several kinds of wood chips (apple, hickory & mesquite) along with the Rib Rub receipe and 5-day e-course.  If I have questions starting out...can you tell me where (which forum/topic) to post questions to for "beginners".

Thank you,

Chris W.

Welcome Chris, We are glad your here!!

I got my start not too long ago by digesting this course: http://www.smoking-meat.com/smoking-basics-ecourse.html

Also never be afraid to ask questions or try to do new things, it's amazing how everyone in this forum is so helpful.

Remember, we can eat our mistakes and it's still good....

Would you do us a favor and update your profile to include your location, Thanks!

As far as posting questions it is best to choose a forum that best fits the topic at hand. For instance if you have a question about smoking a brisket you would post it in the "Beef" forum, if it's about a pork butt then the "Pork" forum if it's about a charcoal smoker then the "Charcoal Smoker" forum. And remember there's a search bar at the top that will find answers to almost any questions with immediate results, it reall can be your best friend when you want an answer fast!

Hope that helps!
