Hi to all on the Forum from a new Smokette owner. Great people on this Forum, great information for the beginner or seasoned veteran.
I am Mike and I am an Appalachian American (Hillbilly!) from west- central West "byGod" Virginia. Not a huge region in the art of smoking but there is always hope! Glad to be a part of this culture..

Looks like it is up to you to build a BBQ legend in west central WV !

Welcome.

Hi My name is Crandall frome OK. love the forum
lot's of good info. Need a killer rub for brisket
THANKS

Hi Crandall. Welcome.

You will find many rub recipes if you do a search in brisket archives or recipes.

Hello. My name is Mike. I live in Alaska, and am an International cargo pilot. I have been smoking salmon for a number of years in a home made smoker that looks like a small outhouse. I usually fill it up and let it rip. I have been wanting to do smaller loads in a more controlled environment. And also some cold smoking. So after doing some research, and stumbling across these forums, Cookshack took the ring. I have a brother that does a lot of smoking, and have had his pulled pork a number of times. I like it. Since he lives in MD, it is hard to come by. Not any longer. I bought a Smokette 009 and am liking it. It's time to start smokin'. I appreciate the information on these forums.

Welcome to the forum, Capt Q.

Would be cool if the homemade smoker was big enough to work as a shed for the Smokette !

Be careful out there.

Hello all,

My name is Paul and I live in Seattle. Bought a SM008 directly from Cookshack a few months back. Great customer service. I am very new to the art of smoking. This forum has been a great help in getting started. Thanks all for the awesome support.

Welcome Paul.

We have had an August extremely similar to Seattle weather, believe it or not ! Weird !

Welcome to the group.

I'd suggest a new thread about the hog. Tell us what smoker your using, size of hog, if you have a background in smoking (just not hogs) and we'll help you out.

Smokin'

Great to have you here, Rayl !

Hi - John here. Been lurking for a few weeks after a miserable showing at a rib event. The perverbial "taking a knife to a gun fight" syndrome. Actually gave up on my ribs 1/2 way thru the event and concentrated on the captain morgan. How sad!

Walked away mad at the others because they all had smokers and I brought a turd. No more...so I went online here & there and looked around to try to figure out what I wanted to get. I made my decision a couple days ago and was waiting for the paycheck to order. Was...because I found a used 50 and will be driving 175 miles to pick it up tomorrow morning.

Just for grins, I dropped a nice rack onto the ol' weber today and enjoyed my final "great" ribs... (pretty good too) but I cant wait to do it right!!!!!!!

Glad to be part of this whole thing and really looking forward to what is ahead for me with the CS.

John - a soon to be formerly frustrated smoker

Welcome John.

Does your competition allow electric smokers ?

Good job finding the used 50 !

Yes it does allow electric (atleast for now) once they deny that then I'll just stand outside the perimeter and drool.

Got the 50 home today - build date on the front says '88 An oldie but a goodie! Great shape and it even came with a cold plate. Thanks Lew!

You're set !!!
