Thanks From Northern Michigan

Hello-

I joined because there's a lot of discussion about smokers, particularly the top-down vented pits like Jambo and what Franklin does. I'm probably going to have someone build the pit, but came here to learn more.

Thanks!

You're in SoCal, and you miss the Yoopers??  There's medicine that will cure that problem, and it's usually sold over the counter in 80 proof bottles!  You've been away for too long if you miss March and April in these parts!

All kidding aside, for a town the size of Marquette, their restaurant selections and food quality are amazing.  Little Cajun & Creole place there called Lagniappe (other than the pricing) is as solid as anything I've ever eaten in East Texas/Louisiana.  Etouffee, gator, po-boys were as good as I could imagine.  Casa Calabria's Italian is good, as is the Rice Paddy for Thai/Hmong.
