Hello from Holland...

[Rsheele]

...that is Holland Township NJ. We are tucked in the NW corner of Hunterdon County near the PA border.

I've been a long time outdoor cooker using a nice Weber gas grille. A few months ago I become obsessed with picking out a small smoker to move to the low and slow world of outdoor cooking. Looking to keep things as simple as possible I picked out a very small and inexpensive electric smoker. After that I soon picked up a Thermopro tp20 to help with things. In the last few months I've done pork shoulders, briskets and a few lamb steaks. I had a much better time after fashioning a warming blanket around the unit. Before that she really struggled to maintain the temp during cold or windy days. I attached a horrible picture of my handwork. I was lazy and it was too cold to go outside for the pic.
Now I'm looking to making things a little more complicated. Thinking about getting an 18" WSM.

So far I have been enjoying myself just reviewing all of the great conversations on this site.

Greetings from the LOU, and welcome to the PIT!

If you like doing things yourself, and you like Weber equipment, use a search engine to lookup Weber Smokey Joe Smoker Conversion. You'll have fun if
fabricating is your thing, and you'll have a better smoker for it.

Welcome from Florida. I have the WSM 22”. Personally I love it but then it’s the only thing I’ve used for smoking. Good advice given to check Craigslist.

And you had me going on the Holland thing. Good hook!
