Hi Guys,

I am new to the community, but very excited to get into smoking.  I live in the bay area and currently have a weber genesis with a box for wood chips and have expirimented with "smoking" ribs.  While far from optimal, the results were delicious enough to lead me to want to learn more about smoking and refine my techniques.  I just ordered the AMNTS, and look forward to seeing the impact the longer lasting smoke will have.  I may eventually buy a pure smoker, but want to see how far I can go with my current rig.  

Right now, I am struggling to get the weber to hold temps as low as 225, but cant seem to get much below 275 with only one burner on the lowest setting.  Any tips or hacks welcome.

Look forward to chatting with you all

You might want to check out Jeff's Free 5 day E-Course, it has great information to use no matter your skill level!

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per Jeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!
