New to the smoke

November 26, 2014, 10:53 PM

Hello everyone I am new to the smoking community and have used this site for many great recipes. I now have decided to discover the benefits of becoming a member. I have gone from a stick burner to a cabinet style electiric smoker now I have a Traeger that I absolutely love. Looking forward to the ultimate smoked turkey this year. Hope it turns out as good as it sounds and looks.

There you'll find all of our how-tos and please-dos for new members.

Oh and one more thing...going from stickburner to electric smoker...I think that may be a bit backward on the evolutionary scale, lol.
