What's going on everyone. Just like everyone here I love BBQn' and just got into smoking early this year. I was turned onto this site when I picked up some wood from Berry Bros and told Thomas I was smoking my first brisket this weekend. He quickly gave a card and said, "Everything you need to know is on this site". So far so good. I'm looking forward to this weekend. This will be the first time I use wood for cooking so I'm praying this is gonna come out good. Time will only tell. I've been doing a lot of research on various site and hopefully lady luck will be in my corner too. I've been grilln for years and told wife I wanted to try smoking, so for xmas last year she bought me a Brinkman smoker. My first set of ribs didn't come out at all, I over smoked them and just killed the meat really. I'm sure the pig that gave them up wasn't too pleased, so I tossed them and tried again. The second time around, pretty good and been hooked every since. Smoking meat is another art form and just like everything else takes time and patience to learn. I look forward to tossing ideas around with everyone on this site and learing as much as I can. Here's a pic of some Ribs, Shrimp and potato's I did on my grill. The next pic is some chicken quarters and ribs I did in the smoker. Thanks and happy grillin everyone!
