Welcome Todd, from Michigan. I lived in Omaha for a few years in the late 80's some good times. Lots has changed out there.

Welcome to the club, Todd!  I also lived in Omaha (actually Papillion) from '88-'92, when I was stationed at Scott AFB.  Had a lot of fun in Omaha...just hated the wind! :o lol!

Glad to have you with us!

Welcome Todd.  I just finished my second smoke with my #2--could not be happier with the product.  Hope you have many years of enjoyment with your smoker.

Hey all - Thanks for the nice welcome comments........Had my first 3 smokes this weekend with my #2!! Saturday I did a 6lb loin, brined overnight and smoked at 225 for 3 hrs. till 145IT. Great flavor, but I thought that was quick for a piece of meat that big? Then Sunday I brined a whole chicken, smoked it at 245 till 165IT and that was great...so I topped off the night and did 2 tenderloins in a rub for an hour till they hit 145IT. Those were for mama, and she said they were very tender and awesome flavor. I have to say, this is truly "lazy Q", and turns out a great finished product. My days of the Brinkman Grill and smoke might just be done.....thanks for all the notes and look forward to more smoking!!

Todd, what no pictures??  ;D The thing I have learned about smoking is that it takes as long as it takes. Sometimes it will go fast and sometimes it will take longer. The results is what counts.....  ;D
