Hello, newby here from Spencerville, IN. I went up to Steve's place to purchase my no. 2 on tues. night. This is my first smoker and I plan on doing the "break-in burn" this week end.
Muddy, welcome from SW Arkansas! Congratulations on your purchase. I am sure you will be very pleased with the SI performance. This forum is an excellent place for you to ask questions and search for recipes. A lot of very knowledgeable people here to help guide you along if you need it.
Hey Muddy, Welcome from Kansas City, I am the proud owner of the #1 & #3 smokers. I see great bbq in your future. Hope to see a name and city in your signature line. Have a great weekend and through some ribs in that bad boy after your seasoned smoke.
Welcome, Muddy! Good to have you with us! Now that you're here, how about a first name and town in your signature line? We're kind of personal, around here, and like to know each other!
Thanks for all wonderful responses. I got the smoker seasoned last night. Wow, they put off some smoke. I could smell it from inside the house. I plan on trying some chicken to start. wish me luck.
Welcome from VA! As others said, tell us all about the chicken when you do it.
My first smoke on the #2 was a two part smoke. First, 3 racks of ribs. Next, some sausages, a chicken, and a tray of Mac and cheese. It was a big undertaking for a first smoke, but I was hooked after that.
