I bought my 009 in April of this year. I owned a charcoal water smoker before and only used it two or three times a year at most. In a few hours I'll throw a pork butt in to get ready for some football tomorrow. This will be my 37th smoke of the year! That's a personal best! I'm sure that number is low compared to many on this forum, but that's a little over one smoke per week since I set the 009 up. This year I've smoked pork butts, packer briskets, pork ribs, riblets, beef jerky, feather bones, chicken and pork loins. My goal for 2008 is more variety and I want to try a turkey!
