Hello everyone. I've been creeping this site since I built my first custom smoker 3 years ago.
I'm a corn/soybean farmer as my day/night/weekend hobby. I started picking up smoking meat as a replacement for eating fried foods from quick diners during the times when I spend 16 hrs in a tractor. I like smoking a big pork shoulder or brisket and taking it with me. I have a 12 volt road pro stove I use in cab to heat up the meat.
I jumped head first into smoking by building my first smoker out of 100 gal propane tank with an offset fire box. Talk about trial by fire. I spent a lot of time redesigning it to help keep fire right. I got decent at it. Then I went and had my first kid (April 2015, Girl, Henley). Quickly realized I didn't have much time to watch a fire and sub 1 year old so I bought a traeger pellet grill. Really helped with time constraints but don't feel like as good of smoke flavor. Trade-offs.
Looking forward to learning more from everyone and getting into more cuts of meats.
