A big hello to any new members.

The sticky threads at the top of these forums are questions that, have been asked every now and then.

You may find the answer to that question you were about to ask in one of them! If you don't find the question asked here, then please feel free to ask away.

Thanks for making that SoEzzy, SoEzzy!

I'm glad to see some new members here. A new perspective, new ideas, and new ways of doing things is always refreshing. So for those of you that are new, thanks for joining us!

Thanks to all of the members that regularly participate, we have a ton (well actually 35 pages) worth of great information here.

Some of the stickies that SoEzzy has added cover the basics of what we do.

Those of us that are "old timers" will usually go out of our way to answer your questions. Some questions like pricing are regional, while many others are of a general nature.

I know that eveyone either can't (or doesn't want to ) wade through everything there is in this section.

However, there is a lot of good info (and some good humor) available here.

We are just as opinionated as the next bunch, so please bear with us if the topic gets heated.

Wish I had this site when I first got started!

I am new to the Smoke Ring, and am loving it. I am an Oklahoman who barbecues on the side. I teach middleschool, and coach football and wrestling. I started smoking when a friend of mine at the school I was teaching, made a smoker for me with his Agriculture class. I first smoked for just my family, then one day decided to send an email to other teachers to see if they wanted me to smoke for them. I haven't had an empty smoker since. I have catered from 25, to 450 people at one time. I may have to retire from teaching, to keep up with my BBQ Gigs. I'm loving it!

New here to the smoke ring and just wanted to say thank you so much to all who are willing to share their knowledge and experience here. I've been getting a lot of requests from my regular backyard barbecues of 50 - 60 to cater for parties of 150 - 200. This forum has been extremely beneficial in deciding if I want to turn a hobby and a passion into side business. My most heartfelt and sincerest Mahalo to all!

Also new to the forum. Turning a passion into a home catering business is where I'm at.
Mostly Pork Butt, Ribs, Turkey's, Whole and chicken thighs along with Brisket is pretty much the standard.
Using a new model 4 from Smokin-it and so far everything is working well. The electric control (Auber) is a really nice feature for regulating temperature inside the smoker and in the meat.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone !
