Newbie in St. Louie

[smokeydrewsky]

Hey guys. After about 6 months of reading all of your posts, I've finally gotten around to registering a profile.

My wife surprised me with a Char-Griller Smokin' Pro for V-day this year, and I've really been getting into it. In fact, I smoked a bristket the first weekend I had it, despite the snow on the ground! What an 'interesting' experience. Since then, I've made some of the suggested mods for the model, and things are going smoothly.

Anyway, my dad had a Brinkman offset smoker when I was growing up, and so I've always wanted to get into the game. I look forward to hearing all your advice and hopefully offering a fresh perspective on things.

Best Regards,
Andy

Welcome aboard, Andy! What took you soooooo long!?!?!? LOL!!!

As you already know, you'll find everything you need to know about outdoor cooking, but fire away about any questions or concerns, especially if you get stranded doing a search.

Everyone has a new way to look at things, so don't be shy.

Enjoy!

Eric

Hi Mama's Smoke,

The brisket turned out okay... I hadn't flipped the charcoal trough over to use as a baffle yet, so there was too much direct heat assaulting the meat. In short, I think I overcooked it.

But hell, it was early feb. and I was so in the mood for some BBQ'd meat that it tasted great anyway.

I just opened my photobucket account, so there will be some Qview pics with my next post.
