Tons of info on this forum--I am still very new at this despite my smokin name.  Have fun, and most importantly--lots of good chow!

Welcome from Iowa! I got my #2 in December and have loved it. I'm sure you will too. Add your name/location to your tagline for more personalization. Most typically do that on this Forum since we are basically family.

Jim, Welcome from Eastern MA. I too have the "Little Guy" and I think you will find it big on performance! Hoping you'll share some of your smoking experiences with us.

I've been searching over this site for a few days and I am ready to introduce myself.  My name is Jim and my wife Linda and I have been married 41 years and have two grown daughters.  We live in NE Iowa and both work in the area at two different businesses both in customer service.  In the past I managed grocery stores and managed a BBQ restaurant.  At the restaurant we used Cook Shack Smokers, so my #1 smoker is a mini to what I used in the past.  I am not new to smoking as in the past I used my Weber grill, Brinkman Smoker, and a Big Chief smoker. 
I ordered my #1 on 7/29/15 and it arrived on Friday 2 days later.  Saturday  I seasoned it and later in the day smoked 3 racks of baby backs for 4 hours at 225, they came out perfect.  When I have the time I can't wait to do a brisket.  At the restaurant we cheated and got our marinated briskets from the Vienna Beef Co. out of Chicago and smoked them for 2 hours at 300, so a 12 - 15 hour smoke will be a new to me.  I will update you when I do a brisket.
