New 4D owner
« on: April 03, 2017, 03:39:32 PM »
Hi Everyone,
I am the proud owner of a 4D. I picked it up from the Fed Ex depot this morning and it is seasoning now. So far, so good. I raise 10 - 12 hogs per year and butcher them here and make my own bacon and ham. Up until now I have been mostly cold smoking with an AMNTS and AMNPS in a plywood smoker I built. I bought the 4D so I could hot smoke instead. We also love regular old BBQ and will be using the 4D to make plenty of it. I have some pork chops thawing now for my initial cook. I'm looking forward to discussing all aspects of smoking with all of you. I am totally into it!

Hi Joe, and welcome from the Florida Keys. I'm impressed by your family's meat consumption-a fifth of a hog a week-or do you sell or give away much of it? Anyway great forum here, lots of helpful, knowledgeable folks.

Well Limey, sometimes I think I could eat all of the bacon myself however I do end up selling most of the pork. Until recently I was selling 1/2 and 1/4 hogs only (with the cured parts cold smoked) but now I am also selling individual cuts of uncured meat and sausage. If I hot smoke then the powers that be will let me sell individual packages of bacon and ham as well.
