Any smokers on here in Cheyenne?

Hello everyone - I'm Chad. I'm a retired Senior Master Sergeant, USAF. Shout out to any Air Force brothers and sisters!

I grew up in GA - raised on some damn good BBQ. If you watch the movie, "Smokey and the Bandit," there's a scene where Jackie Gleason comes out of a restaurant with toilet paper stuck to his glasses. That's an "Old Hickory House" restaurant - and my family ate there in the 70's.

When I left for the Air Force in 1984, it was hard to find good BBQ in some of the places I was stationed; so I learned how to cook my own.

I was blessed enough to be in south Texas (brisket) and on the central coast of California (tri-tip). Also, a tour of the "far east" influenced my style.

The 3D allows me to cook regardless of the weather! We get wind - real wind - lots of wind. Tractor trailers blow over out here. So, I got mine setup inside my garage.

My wife and I have been together 34 years and we have two wonderful boys who also serve and served their country in the military.

If it's easy, it's fun. If I lived somewhere warmer, I'd love to have a couple of cords of hickory and smoke on a stick burner; but - that's a damn hard thing to do in Wyoming - at least where I am. We don't have local hardwood to smoke on. So this is the best option for me.

Glad to be here!

Chad

Chad, Welcome from SW Arkansas! You are going to love your SI Smoker. I have an uncle, Travis King, that retired from the USAF that lived in Cheyenne, WY. He worked for a Ford dealership after his retirement from the Air Force but has moved back to Arkansas now. Thank you for your service to our country.
