Hiya, folks!
Just joined the board today, so I'm leaving my obligatory "get to know ya" post.
My name is Thom (and no, you don't have to spell it that way), originally from the Bangor, Maine area. Living in Salem, NH these days, and working in Framingham, Mass.
Took up making sausage this summer, and I've really been going crazy with it. Where there's sausage, there's gotta be smoke, right?
Used to smoke fish and turkey years ago in a Brinkmann vertical smoker, but eventually tossed the unit because the open-framed thermometer attracted earwigs (yuck). Looking to build a new smoker from an old fridge this fall.
In the meantime, the old chips-on-the-grill technique is doing the trick.
Besides sausage and smoking, I'm also a ham radio operator, computer engineer, musician, guitar builder, former broadcaster, and never boring when mixed with alcohol. :oops:
And yes, I live up to my board name a little too well.
Been lurking here for a while and got some great ideas from you guys, look forward to contributing in the near future!
