Why are you at SMF?

[lcruzen]

I hang out here for the simple reason that it is nice to be able to converse with others that share the same interests in foods and preparation methods. I've learned a lot and hopefully taught a little on the way. The general helpful attitude everyone brings here is refreshing also.

great place..and I love to cook. found this site while looking for a recipe. after reading about smoking for two weeks are so. I bought a smoker a Landmann after many mods that I found here on this site she now purrs. and ribs and other thing have turned out great. my time from work does not allow me to take on other longer task as yet.But that will change when I retire and buy a larger smoker and devote some serious time to smoking.
I will have to buy a computer also. as I do not have one for myself at the house.and the one there is tied up for school and educational purpose for the war department and the brats.
and I learn new neat stuff here. fatties and abt's every one loves them..

I'm here mainly because I want to keep learning regarding all facets of smoking and related topics. New recipes, smokers, methods - it's all good. If I can help other from my limited experience, I'm all over that too. This is a great community and I am looking forward to spending lots of time here.

Found this site through an accidental internet search. Noticed one thing different about this forum than alot of others I have been to. Newbie's, NOOBS, whatever you wanna call new members are treated with respect and are permitted to ask questions. Other forums ( not all food related ) the established members will attack someone new asking questions like a pack of wolves. I have yet to see that here.

There is a wealth of knowledge here, that people are happy to share. recipes, process, ingenuitey, ideas. Everyone shares their experience, which helps us all.

I have a passion for cooking in general, the people here helped evolve that into a smoking addiction. Thanks Everyone!!!!!!!!!!

Why would Tip want to search for Geekwithfire? He has enough stuff to do with creating his Happy Hillbilly rubs!!.......

We got a bit off track from the original thread for awhile, but it's good reading. A little entertainment never hurts. Like's been said earlier, this place is fun, not just educational!

Thanks everybody!

[desertlites]

[monty]

[stumper210]

Smokebuzz said I should check out this site, and after visiting a few others...SMF smokes em all.

 

[big game cook]

had i not been here ide be uds less. and i had some of the best grub in years tonight off my new one. just see my sig pic.

 

[walking dude]

yeah, when i first joined here, it was STRESSED, the reason the REST of the members were here to HELP the newbies...........i belive that is rule number 1.

i was a newbie, when i found this place, tho i had been, what i THOUGHT was smoking, for close to 30 years. I found this place, and discovered, i had been wrong all these years........i did put out some good food over those years. But now i turn out GREAT Q! ! !!.....big difference...........

 

[teeotee]

I found this site while looking for information on mods for the cgsp .... boy did i ever find it. The people here are the best. Everyone is willing to share, help, have a laugh with you.... or at you ..... depending on the situation

. It is very much like a big family.
I done my first all nigther back in sept, dropped into chat and had company through some of the wee hours.

I do wish i had more time to spend here. Right now i have two jobs, two kids in high school sports, two crazy labradors and a an 85 year old farmhouse on almost two acres. I get very little time to dedicate to the fine art of smoking food.

Want to add a big thanks to Richtee for getting me to use my smoker in the dead of winter here in Iowa back when i first joined. The wife thought i was nuts being outside smoking a beef chuck when it was around 30f outside. I had to be out there splitting firewood anyway so hey .... why not.


This place definitely rocks .........

 

[ryf]

I came to learn more, and find fellow smokers who could show me more..... if I had only learned about fatties, it would all be worth it

thankfully there is so much more info here to keep me occupied, I'll be around a while. (though I won't always post)

 

[richtee]

Haha!

I remember that! I think I did a butt starting at 9°F right before that ... Takes a little extra effort and fuel, but it's a taste of summer in the dead of winter I think!

 

[walking dude]

yeah....why NOT smoke in the winter..............LOL.....been doing THAT for years before i found this site.........GOTTA HAVE Q IN WINTER AlSO !! ! ! ! !

 

[walking dude]

you know what i got from this site, better than ANYTHING...(well i DID learn to REALLY smoke here)...........was the abts.........my lord, thats the ONE thing everyone that has tasted my q after finding this place, after really LEARNING to q........was those..........man if i don't make abts at one of my smokes..........i would get SCALPED......for Real! ! ! ! !

When I log on to SMF it is like going to a family reunion "eating meeting".



Anyway....this is where all the cool kids hangout!!
