Welcome, Jeff. Journey is a great word to use for the long-lived "hobby" you are about to undertake. You can make it as simple or complex as you like. Learn just a few good "recipes" or get into very small technical details; it's up to you. Whichever route you choose, there are many here with significant knowledge and eager to share what they know as well as answer any questions you may have or help resolve any problems.

Good luck to you on the journey, share pictures of your cooks, and let us know how we can help.

Welcome Jeff! Im fairly new here too... Though I have been grillin and Q'in' for over 2 decades. Theres tons of information, and recipes to try. Im doing something Ive never done before this weekend and making ABTs (Atomic Buffalo Turds) and Pork Shots, along with some ribs and chicken.

So, dig in... explore the forums and like oldsmoker said, find some recipes and everyone here is willing to help...

Welcome to SMF from Indiana! Smoking is addictive. I’ve been at it for a couple of years as much as possible. I’m hooked. I’m sure you will be too. Thanks for joining.

Howdy sir, I'm a fellow pit player from Illinois. I haven't been on here long, but I've used the page for research efforts for some time now. Hit me up if you ever have a question, especially if you're modifying your DG. I love mine, but it does take some tinkering and a bit of attention. To me, that's all part of the fun though.
