Welcome out in the day light Mat! Glad you made it to the gathering.
Have a FEW PM's in your box?????????
Bet you can't believe you scored that smoker from Ultramag!
Now get it fired up and impress your friends and relatives (esp. uncle Shortone), post us some pics of your eats.
And be ready to cook next year. We WILL expect a bunch of those fine ABT's.

Your first post is yesterday around 10 AM, Alright, enough time has passed for you to have a smoked meat or something "how to" ready for us, More than 12 hours has passed, you are overdue... OR are you really ssslllooowww cooking something????

I think you should get be a "special consideration membership" since you are the only one to go to the SMF 1st annual as a non member and come out with a new smoker, good rep for ABT's, membership and great friends..

Way to go!!! do that all in one shot ?!?!

Welcome, Check out the 5 day course, Great stuff in there.

Mike

Congrats on coming out of the shadows!

 

[hawgheaven]

Welcome aboard Matt! Your reputation precedes you, we've heard about your ABT 's!

Glad you could join us!

Mike he was already a member (since 4-12-07) his problem was he was a confessed lurker member.. no way we could let that go on after he came to the gathering so we pounced on him all weekend and threatened to change his name to bashfulsmoker if he didn't go straight to Roll Call and let us know he's here.

He's a good guy and glad to have him out of the shadows. Now that said... Where's the Pics Matt???

 

[gypsyseagod]

[mdgoos]

[ron50]

Glad to see your posts, hope to see many more, especially accompanied by good Q view.

My usual sous chef (the Smoky Okette) abandoned her post early onfor a spot in the shade (It was brually muggy). As it turned out, Pigcicles and Smokinmeat ended up filling her spot, and what a job they did.

It turned into somewhat of a grueling challenge spending the whole day running two good sized rigs, stokin them both, checking the temps, etc..

It was 92*/90% humidity, add in another 15*-20* ambient heat from the smokers, and top that off w/ the radiant heat of an unrelenting sun and no breeze....well, you get the picture.

Although I had help whenever I needed it from just about everyone there. Pigcicles and Smokinmeat not only took just about every trip to the smoker that I did, and several that I didn't .

Guys, I couldn't have done it without ya. I rilly couldn't have. Thanx so much for the help.

[peculiarmike]

Yep. He scored a smoker from Ultramag, not exactly NEW, but it will smoke some Q.

You best be there next year.
