I guess I'm the opposite of Fatback Joe...I used to be in a comfort zone with my spares, chix, etc from about 6 years ago when I got my first smoker. Then, I found SMF and my whole world got turned upside-down! LOL!!!!
Late in '08, I started getting alot of ideas from member's posts here, and really began cranking things up in '09. I like to do something different with almost every smoke the past year, changing up my methods or rubs to keep the exitement levels up with my cooking experiences. My wife has asked me several times if I used the same rub this time as last time, or if I used a different smoke wood...drives her crazy sometimes because she never knows what I did differently from the last, so we start the quizing game...
2010 is anybody's guess! The sky is the limit, friends, so I can't say what I may be doing for the next week or month, and definately not the next year, but here are some things I would like to accomplish:
1. build a wide-body vertical smoker (details will be released to the forum later);
2. spice-up my CB brine/cure recipe for another run;
3. more corned beef pastrami!!!!!!!!;
4. more packers with burnt ends!!!!!!!!;
See what happened here?!?!?!? LOL!!!!! I just can't help myself!
Seriously though, only time will tell what I'll have the ambition/creativity for. Hang around, you'll find out...
