Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and new to smoking. My brother (trucky1008) started last year and got me to buy my first cookshack while I was visiting him at Thanksgiving this year. I got the 009 and almost had to leave my son behind so I would have room to bring back my smoker. Well as soon as I got home I cooked a couple of fatties and then last week I smoked my first pork butt which turned out great. A little bit about myself. I am a Police Officer in north central Illinois and have been so for almost 24 years. I love woodworking and fishing and go with Trucky1008 every year to Canada. I imagine sometime in the future I will have to upgrade to a bigger unit but I should wait at least 6 months unless I want to move out into my garage. But I hope to get some great tips on this site and please don't get mad at me when I ask a bunch of questions.
Dennis (trucky9754)
