Hi, my name is Nick, but go by Trip for the most part. I should be getting a #3 on Thursday as long as UPS doesn't screw the pooch. I had a nice long and agonizing decision on what smoker to get that was posted up at smokingmeatforums where I decided to go with the SI3 thanks to oldsarge's help.
I'm in Gig City aka Chattanooga, TN. Originally from the New Orleans area, which should explain my thread subject. I like being able to claim that I am from further south Louisiana than any person on Swamp People.
Been boiling crawfish and frying turkeys for awhile now, have pretty much no smoking experience. Decided to make a switch to an oil-less turkey "fryer" last year to try and eat a bit healthier. It had a little wood chip drawer and I have done some other things in it besides turkeys and things have come out pretty good in it for what it is, so I decided to make the leap to a full blown smoker. I am a huge Texas brisket fan stuck in the land of pork BBQ, so I can't wait to try and get some decent brisket from my own creation.
I'm an EE by trade in power generation, the heatermeter thread definitely has my interest. I want to be able to control this thing from my tablet over wifi.
