So I was playing with my pics and this time it came out right, not sideways lol. I guess the computer thinks my face is too ugly to be upright lol.

[HawkerXP]

Just figured you were in witness protection.

[Johnny Big Time]

LOL...shhh!

Welcome to the pit. Our AR bros and sisters will have you up to speed and making some great stuff in no time. They upped my game so much that I get requests now - got a request for some brisket at Christmas, and my wife refuses to cook if the weather is nice on the weekends. I am still kind of in a daze about it all. Or maybe that's the beer...

[Johnny Big Time]

Thank you! Just have another beer, it'll be all good then.

First fire of my first stick burner today! I'm not happy with the wood though. I bought some cherry from someone on facebook and then I got a bag of Kingsford hickory sticks from Home Depot. They took FOREVER to finally catch fire, and then it was a fight to keep it going for a 4 hour burn-in of the smoker. Maybe I should just buy wood fron an online vendor.

Welcome to the pit from Southern Illinois! Enjoy burning wood! The dryer the better for smoking wood, so store it stacked and protected from the weather.

[Johnny Big Time]

Thanks! I have plenty of room in the garage to store wood, but so far I think the wood I got is still green. I found someone else on facebook selling wood...going to pick up some to try out this morning. Eventually, I'm sure I'll find someone who sells quality wood.

[Johnny Big Time]

Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe I should buy a digital wood moisture meter so I can do a quick test on the wood these people are selling so I don't waste my money.

[Oakgrovebacon]

That would be big help.
