I've been scrolling through posts, and I've noticed something that isn't "allowed" on most forums:  names.  Many of our members post their first names and location in their tag lines (me included).  I don't know about you, but I think this is pretty cool!  No matter what the user name is, I know I'm seeing a post from Joe, Ed, Phil, Zed, Mike, etc...  I, personally, think this really personalizes our forum! 

Ben has done a really stellar job at keeping out the spammers and "one-post-wonders" who sign up for nefarious purposes.  The core of our forum is good folks who love good Q and their SmokinIt smokers!

So, I hope that everyone takes the time to post their first names and location in their tag lines so we know who our friends are.  If you're new to the forum, take the time to do a post on the Introductions section and let us know who you are!

If you see DivotMaker on posts, you know it's Tony from NW Arkansas - not somebody who doesn't care about our hobby and our forum.  Trust that we'll keep the "riff raff" out.  We only want folks who want to participate in a group of like-minded people who actually care about our hobby (obsession?). ;D

Hey Tony was looking for this and wondering if you could also add to the Introduction section was looking earlier and could not find it. I have seen several new people that are not adding their names and cities to the signature area. I know is not a requirement but is nice to know who we are talking to.

Good point bill! This would be a great sticky for the top of the page on the Introductions section.

Pretty sure it was Yule Brenner in "The 10 Commandments" that you are thinking of.

One of my favorite classic movies.

Hi my name is Laura and I got the model #2 for my husband for Christmas, but it looks like using it will be my job/ pleasure. I've never smoked anything in my life, though I'm a fairly accomplished cook. I seasoned first and now there is a pork shoulder smokin away. Great forum. Not sure how much I will participate, but I will be back to read for advice. One thing though I don't know how to add a permanent signiture line. I post from my phone so maybe that's not possible from a phone.
Thanks
Laura

Welcome aboard, Laura!  You'll be a great Pit Master in no time; just hang with us when you can!  To add a signature line, just go to your Forum Profile settings (Profile tab at the top of the screen).  There's a section for signature.

Hi fellow smokers, Tes here. I ordered the #2 model today after much research and a helpful phone conversation with David. Smoking the game meat we hunt is a family tradition. Like a lot of folks we've gone through many smokers over the years. Reading this forum and a multitude of positive reviews and ratings in online searches made the decision easy to invest a little more in a high quality smoker. I'm excited for it to arrive. A batch of wild pig Canadian bacon will be cured and ready to be smoked. I've already learned some great tips and advice on the boards tonight. Thanks much!
