Hi, my name is Dennis Luck and hopefully my last name does me justice as I am new to this hobby. I can already see how it can be addicting! I am married with a 6 and 4 year old. I appreciate any responses to my questions!

Welcome, Dennis

Read Smokin Okies guides, keep notes and have fun!!!

Hey Dennis, "welcome to the Forum!"

Lots of great people here who are willing to assist you with your smoking needs (even though you are a ST owner like me )

Be sure to visit often and read SmokinOkie's BBQ Guide and all the 101s that go along with it.

Use the Search Function above when you have questions. You'll find that a lot of your questions have been addressed or answered - or, as many do, just ask away!

Good luck to you and enjoy the Forum!!!

Welcome Dennis!

Be sure and take explicit notes in a journal used exclusively for this hobby. It will help more than anything. Remember to include anything pertinent - meat temp start and end, outside temp start and end, cooker temp setting, meat weight, proximity to heat source, recipe specifics, hold time, amount and type of wood, grade of meat, etc., etc.
