New guy from SW Arkansas!

[beltcutter]

Hello to the forum!  I've got a few questions for you guys but the formalities come first.  I'm brand new to the smoking scene, basically.  I'm pretty much sold on these nice smokers...but have yet to order one.  That's where the questions will come in, in due time!

Greetings,

Brian

kz0m,

Was born in Dallas (almost 57 years ago) and have always been a Cowboys fan, though I was a better fan in the '90s!

thanks for the welcome!

Brian, Welcome from another guy in SW Arkansas! Where in SW Arkansas do you live? I am in Arkadelphia. You have come to the right place. Lot of knowledgeable and willing people here to help you.

Thanks for all the welcomes...you guys are so nice I might let you make a donation to the smoker I buy!  Okay, ya'll don't know me that well yet...

Jimmy,  I'm just East of Texarkana, slightly South...ESE to be official.  I'm located on my big 2 acre ranch in a rural area between Fouke and Genoa.  I'm retired from Cooper Tire in Texarkana after 33 years.  Two grown children (boy and girl), a great daughter-in-law and hardworking son-in-law. Two younger grandchildren who brighten pappy's life greatly.  My wife of 35 years works for the Genoa Central School District.

I use beltcutter as a username on other forums and I've been asked many times why that name?  I, along with other men, ran a multi-million dollar highly automated machine at Cooper that cut steel belts into different widths for different size tires.  We were known simply as beltcutters.

I'm an avid Razorback fan and love to hunt and fish.  Wow, ya'll know more about me now than I know about myself!

Welcome Brian.  You'll find that the folks in the forum 1) know their stuff and 2) aren't shy about sharing their experiences with us "Newbies".  My #2 wouldn't be the same without the information and the support from this forum.  Enjoy!
