Hello - I decided to join the forum because I received a Masterbuilt digital electric smoker for Christmas (a sneaky way for my wife to get me to do some of the cooking!). Anyway, I LOVE BBQ, so much so we had a pig roast at our wedding reception 10 yrs. ago. You've already figured out that with my smoker I'm not nearly in the same league as most of you, but you have to start somewhere & there seems to be a wealth of knowledge / experience in this group which I sorely need. My only prior experience is with a Little Chief smoker I bought after a buddy & I brought back 80 lbs. of salmon from Alaska & decided to smoke about 25 lbs. of tails. They turned out so good they were gone in a few months! Did some so-so jerky after that & soon realized I could only smoke, not cook, with that thing so there it sat, unused ever again by me (finally gave it to my son - beats storing it here). So far with the MES I've done a "Poor Mans Burnt Ends" recipe using chuck roast, & also a slab of ribs - both turned out so good I'm encouraged & enthused. As I type this I'm smoking An 8 lb. pork butt which I plan to use as "back-up" for a brisket I'm going to smoke for friends for Thurs. night dinner - just in case!! Not that I lack confidence but as I said - I LOVE BBQ! - it won't go to waste, I promise! I also promise to do my research & won't ask any dumb questions, at least not intentionally.
Looking forward to a lot of good eating & friendly banter. Cheers, Chuck
