Love It!!

Welcome Wilbur.

I am guessing since you went straight to Jerky, you have some experience with smoking. Don't forget to share your ideas, processes and pictures.

Welcome Wilber!

Best smoker for the money, hands down.

Welcome to the family. Your'e going to be the most popular guy in the neighborhood, soon.

Thanks all!

I am a chef by trade and pap was a butcher so I have smoked for a while. Decided to upgrade from my homemade smokers. Will post some pics as soon as I figure out how. Tryed and it would not except my attachment.

Butts this weekend!

Wilber

Nice to meet a fellow chef!

There are several options for uploading pictures. You first upload them to a host; I use Imageshack.com Create an account, select the upload option. There are several size options, I use 15" monitor size so as to keep the size reasonably small. Once they upload you'll see several HTML code options...copy the forum option to your clipboard just prior to posting here on the forum.

To add them to a new post or reply, simply paste or use the Control V keyboard strokes.

The other option is to email the pic to our moderator, Smokinokie...which can be done by PM. He will host the pic and post it for you. The benefit of this option is to reduce the risk of a broken link at some future time.

Good luck with the pork butt. They're very forgiving.

Thanks MaxQ I will give it a try. Did a batch of deer jerkey last night, archery season is here in PA, it was sssooooo GOOD! I love the way my garage smells! Cookshack where have you been all my life!! hahahah

Don't be afraid to experiment with different woods. Cherry works well with butts and ribs. Apple is great with chicken...nice & light. A mix of Pecan & Oak is perfect for brisket and beef ribs, though I'm not sure Cookshack carries Pecan these days.

The Amerique lays down a pretty good wood profile...2 - 4 oz usually suffices.

Thanks MaxQ..

I did get CS's sampler box and used cherry and hickory on the venison jerky and it worked well.. Never used pecan, will have to get some.

Thanks again!

Yall try whole pecans or pecan/walnut/hickory nut shells sometime.

Yes. Check for wood info in the Wood Forum (farther down on the main page). There will be detailed info on types of wood, etc.
