I have been smoking for about 5 years now. I started on a Webber kettle, moved on to a char-broil off set while in grad school. About six months ago I bought a Traeger Texas. I smoke at least once a week,
I love to smoke brisket. I avoid crutching, although when I'm lazy I'll use the 3-2-1 method on ribs.
