Roll call from New Hampshire

[hlgoldens]

Well let's see,

My name is Henry and have been smoking for approx. 10 years.

I started with the Masterbuilt GrandMac charcoal smoker which I used for about 5 years and actually just gave it to a friend for him to try his hand at smoking.

From there I bought the Big Green Egg about 4 years ago and last year I got a great deal on two Back Woods smokers ( Fatboy and the Party ). I am by far NO expert, but do have some experience under my belt, but still enjoy learning new concepts and new ideas.

My neighbors thoroughly enjoy the fact that I love to smoke and typically enjoy all the various things I decide to try on the weekends.

I am currently trying to get used to the BackWoods smokers and enjoying the learning process.

I am now looking forward to meeting fellow smokers on this site and look forward to learn from other people on this site as well.

So I will start off by saying Hello and here's to all that great smoked food ahead of us !!

Hi BogHog1,

Nice to meet someone local.

Hi SmokinHusker,

It's great to see so many people from all these different locations.

It's also great to get different perspectives and ideas from people in different areas.

I see you're a "master of the pit", I take you've been doing it a while then.

good to meet you !

Not very and prior attempts were not what I would consider smoking after reading through these threads

Boghog1, what are you using for your smoker ?

Do you use charcoal or lumpwood ?

I started out using charcoal but I now only use lumpwood, I find it lights easier and produces a LOT less ash.

A friend of mine just brought in to work some smoked pastrami he did last week and it was fantastic.

wanna guess what I'll be throwing in the smoker next ? :-)

HLGoldens, I now use a homebuilt UDS, prior to my most recent pork butt I generally ended up with stuff that was cooked too tough or over smoked, but thanks to this site my last pork butt turned out very tasty although I am sure as I go on they will get better. I use lump charcoal (cowboy brand) I need to do some ribs next I think. again the first time I did them they were over cooked and over smoked, my turkeys don't come out too bad but I think the skin protects them.
