Hi!
Well... I'm not quite sure what to post.. so here goes nothing...

I've been grilling since a teenager and barbequing the last 8 years or so using a weber (I guess that means that I finally figured out the difference between grilling and Q.. so its been about 8 years of experimenting with real Q). I received an upright propane smoker for Christmas (I think its called "smokey mountain" but its not a weber). It looks like a typical chinese restaurant style smoker used for duck. I can't believe how much easier it is to do then the weber! I also like to deep fry a turkey once in a while. I usually make my own rubs and marinades but tend to use store bought sauces (dinosaur's my favorite). I don't think I've quite yet mastered ribs and brisket to my satisfaction. I like gadgets and use a couple of different digital thermometers. I've been slowly accumulating decent knives (henkles and lately a really nice calphalon) and am pretty picky about keeping them sharp. there's nothing more depressing in the kitchen then a dull knife (well, maybe the last glass of wine is close).


Although my grateful wife and family think I cook well, I figured I could learn a great deal from this site.
:)
 
Welcome to SMF M.S. Glad you're here. Keep working on those ribs and brisket. Share some pics and enjoy the company. Lots of great info on those two subjects.. read up and smoke em if you got em.

Welcome to the SMF M. Stupid (that's pretty funny) sounds like you were lucky enough to recieve a GOSM (great outdoors smokey mountain) smoker for Christmas.

Like Pigcicles said do some reading to find out all about your smoker and more. There are a lot of GOSM owners here, so jump right in with any questions or comments.

Glad you found us.

Welcom aboard...last glass of wine would be my pick for frustration, I can always sharpen a knife, I can't always produce a bottle of wine!
