Today Phil is Unboxing #2D new to the forum

[Olde Smoke]

Long time smoker with fire. Now plugging in to a different form. I'll be honest I was looking at something like this since the late 90's if memory serves me, and it doesn't much anymore. I took the other road after a KCBS judging class with my oldest daughter. I never did compete but had a ton of fun learning.
I'm hoping to put this to good use for meals and snack sticks.
I live in Eau Claire WI.
I just grabbed a user name but you can call me Phil

Welcome from Delaware, Phil. I am sure you will enjoy the 2D and the ease of smoking with these smokers. Cheers

Congrats, and happy smoking on your new number # 2.

The unboxing and seasoning went well. I've done a few cooks to get some understanding of it's quirks. Some Chicken thighs and a rack of ribs.
Mostly I'm trying not to create a flat spot on my head trying to figure out the programming. So far I'm just overwriting the 1st one repeatedly

I keep things simple. No wifi. At the smoker, I set to meat temp or to time and box temp.
