Hello everyone. I've been perusing the site for several weeks and have learned a lot about the art of smoking and BBQ. I figured knowledge is worth something, so I joined today! I'm new at smoking and just recently bought an electric smoker. I've come to realize that it was probably a mistake and will be looking for a pellet smoker in the near future. In the mean time, the electric does okay and is easy to use, no muss, no fuss. Everything I've smoked so far has come out pretty good but not exceptional. Anyway, enough rambling.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Welcome jub jub! Glad to have you aboard. GA is about as popular a state here as NC and TX are. Great to hear you're learning from the site, that's what it's all about, that's the mission here. My good friend/bro in law just bought an electric and he shares your sentiments- he makes some good eatin' but wishes he'd have gotten (in his case) a propane smoker, something with a little more oomph. Electrics are by far the easiest to acquire and operate on a budget to skill ratio, but the hardest to turn out amazing end results. They're pretty good at doing fish like salmon.
When you get a minute, check out the main page by clicking the top-left tab titled "The Pit", and view Pit Boss' welcome letter and the Tips letter. This will help you in filling out your signature, as well as help you in posting pics.
Again, welcome aboard and we look forward to having you share anything you can!

Jub Jub welcome to The Pit! Are you afiliated with the AFB at WB?
Where's your sig?
Hi David. I retired from the AF while stationed at Robins and decided to stay. I work for a contractor that does business with the base, but our actual office is downtown.
I was in the 5th mob, short for mobility. Shortly after I got there, we broke into squadrons. I was in the 53rd squadron. I was superintendent of our shop which consisted of refrigeration and power generation. We were always partying and trying different ways to burn/ smoke meat. It hasn't been until late, that I have figured, there must be a better way!
