Hi everyone! I've been browsing these forums for many months and have acquired some great information. I am here reading several times a week. My fiance thinks I need to go to therapy for my "meat porn" obsession. LOL
Anywho, just wanted to poke my head in and say hello. I have been smoking meat for about 3 years, but still consider myself to be a newb. I started out with a vertical electric smoker that my late father had to have about 20 years ago, which he never used. When he died, I found it in his garage still new in the box. I made some really good brisket on that thing. I have a friend who has a WSM 18.5" and he smoked some ribs in it one day. Three days later, I ordered a WSM 22.5" and have been loving it ever since.
Also, I grew up grilling on a gasser, but since I started using a charcoal smoker, I sold my brand new gas grill to my mom and started using my fiance's Weber Kettle. No way will I ever go back to gas again. I never have to worry about flare-ups with the Weber like I did with the gas grill. I grill on average about 4 times a week when it's nice out and once a week or so in the winter months.
Thanks,
Marc
