Welcome from Delaware, Zach! Great choices for the #2 (I love mine!) and BBs for the first smoke...can't go wrong! Let us know how you make out, and better yet...include some pics! ;D
Pork butts are a great way to season your smoker. That's what I did in January for my first smoke. You'll enjoy how easy it is to use this smoker all winter long.
Welcome from Mississippi. Agree you made a great choice with the #2 and a quick word to the wise. Buy some good wood to go along with what came with the smoker...I was wondering what had happened to the smoky flavor that I loved and discovered that it was the wood I was using...old and dried out.
Hey Greg it is a military term, normally used on either boots or personnel joining a new post or ship. I think was started during Viet-Nam era but could be wrong on this point.
