Years ago I spent some time in East Texas. Folks that their smokers out by the road and sold sandwiches and such. I was hooked. Then I went to work as a metal fabricator in a new plywood mill that some of these ol'boys from East Texas bought. One of the very first things I did was to build some "pits" as they called um'. I had access to used air receivers (tanks) so we built them some, one was on a trailer and the other three they loaded with the forktruck. I always wanted to build a side fire box smoker style BBQ. Also when I was a kid my Dad bought a komada, it is a knock off but is still in perfect condition.
I have a Char-Griller w/side fire box. Nice looking, good price and one heck of a lot faster and easyer than me building one.
So thanks for letting me tag along here folks and if any of you see one of my posts and I am way out of joint and going the wrong direction, please step up and set me straight. I am new to cookin' let alone in a smoker. I have done two briskets so far and all the neighbors are still kickin' and talkin' to me so were not doin' to bad.
Again, thanks for this site and lettin' us kids in here.
Good energy,
~Randy
