Hi all

[theeaterofshades]

Hello from Wisconsin.  I conditioned my brand new #2 yesterday.  All ready for an inaugural run with baby backs and spare ribs tomorrow before the snow and the following below zero high temps next week.

Welcome from ND. Unfortunately, it sounds like we're going to get it right before you.

The good thing is these smokers perform very well in the cold. I smoked a butt last year in -20 and didn't have any problems at all maintaining temp.

Good to hear NDKoze.  I went to Grad School at UND and come back each fall to duck hunt in the McClusky area.

Welcome!  Ribs is a good choice for the inaugural smoke!  Let us know how they turn out...and good luck with the falling temps!  Cheers

Welcome, ribs was my first smoke. Use the recipes on the forum, you cant miss.

Welcome, eater!  It'd be great to see a first name and town in your signature line, so we don't have to call you shade eater!   We like to know who our new friends are, just like family!

Welcome aboard!

theeaterofshades, Welcome from IA. The #2 is a good choice. I just got mine around Christmas and have done 3 smokes and all have tasted great. Hard to go wrong with the great community of folks here. Let us know how the inaugural run of ribs went.
