Newbie here...

Hey all.  Been reading these forums for a while and they've helped me a bunch in getting started so I figured it was time I introduced myself.  I'm pretty a pretty good cook, but relatively new to smoking.  

I got my entry level Brinkman Smoke 'N Grill for Christmas last year but I'm planning to upgrade to the Masterbuilt 30' Smokehouse Electric Smoker soon... perhaps for Christmas again if the lady-friend is so kind :)

The biggest smoke job I've tackled to date was the 18 lb ham in my profile pic.  Got it fresh.  Cured it for a week in my own brine recipe.  Smoked it, glazed it and loved it for Easter dinner!

I love trading clever ideas with fellow amateur gourmets, but I think recipes are for quick reference and inspiration only and following them is cheating!

Thanks for the warm welcome!  Got 2 4lb shoulders on smoke in the garage right now (it's too cold and windy out there, so I'll deal with everything smelling like smoke in the workshop for a couple days) and looking forward to some pulled pork sammies tonight and a smoked pork chili tomorrow :D
