Hello from Tennessee!
« on: July 27, 2015, 11:27:58 AM »
Hi all,
My Smokin-It #2 is on the way and I am glad that this forum exists. While I enjoy cooking and spend a lot of time in the kitchen daily, I am a newbie to smoking. We have a fairly large family (6 kiddos age 13 and younger) and I think that the ability to smoke meats will be a welcome addition around here.
I look forward to chatting with everyone!
Lauren from Knoxville.

Welcome from Delaware, Lauren!   You will enjoy the possibilities with the #2, I know I do!   Great smoker, and lots of good recipes on this forum to try out.  Cheers

Hey Lauren, Welcome from Kansas City, enjoy that new smoker and all the bbq you will get the very easy way, just add the wood, meat, close the door, set the temp. and forget about it. The smoker will do the rest for you.

Hi, and welcome to the club, Lauren!!  Being from the South, I'm sure your clan will have no problem accepting your new venture into smoked meat!! ;D (No "self-respecting" Southerner would).

Stick with us, and we'll get you up to "Pit Master" status in no time!  Great thing about your #2 is that you get to focus on some meat prep (which I bet you'll be great at), and it does all the "work" of turning it into great Q!

Let us know how we can help, and don't be shy!  8)

Welcome aboard, Lauren.  Doesn't sound like you're going to have too many leftovers with such a clan around!

Hey Lauren, I am in Chatty, but most of my immediate family lives in the Farragut/Lenoir City area.  Hope to move back some day, may be soon, fingers crossed.  Welcome to the forum.
