Newbie from Virginia
« on: December 12, 2014, 11:09:33 PM »
Checking in from Northern Virginia.  After several years of wanting to get serious about smoking, I finally went for the #2.  Previous smoking attempts were with a regular gas grill that included a small smoke drawer - I could cook fairly slow, anyway.

I'm interested in smoking fish as well as meat.  Usually not in large quantities.

Welcome, Norm!  You'll find most of the answers you're looking for here.  For your fish, go to the Fish section of the recipes, and browse around.  Lots of good fish stories (er.."posts") there! ;)

Welcome from ND Norm!

In addition to a great smoker, this form is a great added benefit.

Welcome to the family, Norm!   I purchased a #2 a couple of years ago and have been loving it (and my family and neighbors as well) just about every weekend!  Cheers
