Hello from southwest NH

[Reeg]

Hi everyone, Paul from SW NH here. After 3+ years of looking at different types of smokers, from Kamado to pellet, electric and propane I found this forum. After reading your posts about the Smokin-It smokers I decided to give it a go and bought a SI #2DW. I've never smoked anything before and being a complete newby I went with Lazy-Q's instructions for baby back ribs, and even though it was a nasty, cold (mid-30s), windy, rainy day, they were the best ribs I've ever had. Maybe it was beginner's luck, or maybe you folks were right?

Welcome Paul. Your Ribs look fantastic! Congrats on a successful inaugural smoke. I’m sure there will be many more to come. If you have questions, I’m sure you’ll find this forum very helpful.

Welcome from Delaware, Paul!  It looks like you are off and running with the first (of many) successful smokes!  Cheers

Welcome Paul from SE Arizona. These smokers are the easiest way to make and enjoy Q any time of the year.

Welcome.  You saved a lot of money buying a Smokin-It smoker first. Now you don't have to try any other smoker.

Y'know, I never thought of that. Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks all. I just realized that I had a typo in the subject line - SW NW? Where's that? Anyhow it's fixed now.
