Welcome, Jim! Jersey, huh? What exit?? lol. All my Jersey friends always ask that. (Off the Jersey Turnpike, for those of you not familiar with the area).
Hey Jim, Welcome from N'Eastern MA.
Great choice with the SI#1. I've had mine for a year and the only problems that I have had have been self inflicted!
Good choice with the ribs for a first smoke....Let us know how they come out.
