Good Day from the mitten state.

February 24, 2018, 05:58 AM

Hello everyone. My name is Dan. A couple years ago my wife came home and told me she bought me something. I looked in the back of her SUV and there sitting pretty as you please was my first off-set smoker. (She also buys good hand rolled cigars for me too!) I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can. I've been researching smoking meat techniques and recipes for a few years but I am always trying to improve my skill level to the best I can. I am also interested in learning as much as I can about the gear as well. I will greatly appreciate any feedback I can get. Thanks everyone. It's nice to be here.
