newbie here

[mplsbrewer]

Hello all

I guess to introduce myself I'd say I'm definitely more of a homebrewer than a meat smoker but that doesn't mean I don't want to learn.  A friend of mine has gotten me into barbecue and I would love to give it a try but have no experience or equipment.  We do have a regular charboil barrel grill sans offset attachment and I was thinking of trying out that by placing the meat opposite the end of the charcoal/wood.  

Being on a tight budget with my money tied up in my other delicious hobby I was thinking of going the modded ECB route for a starter.  

Look forward to learning a lot from here and if this is anything like the home6brewing forums I frequent I have no doubt that I will.

 to SMF!!! Glad to have you here! Lot's of great info here and people to learn from!

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

Consider it done.  Any reason as to why?  Not that I mind, just wondering if there is some kind of reasoning as to why geographic info is important.  Something I'm missing maybe, or maybe just keeping track.

We are looking to run a query on the database to see how many members we have in different areas of the country and across the globe. This will be important for planning meet ups, gatherings and events. We don't need specifics such as what part of town you live in or even what town you live in if you are uncomfortable with that, but we would like for you to at least insert a state and maybe even a region of the state.

As in Northeast Oklahoma or even Tulsa area, Oklahoma and that would have been equally good.

It will also be fun to see what states and areas have the largest representation here at SMF.. We will post that information once we have it.

It also help us to know the climate you live in if you have any smoking questions.

Thanks!
