HELLO From Upstate NY
« Reply #-1 on: June 07, 2017, 09:08:14 PM »
 :)  Hi folks.  I just purchased a Camp Chef Woodwind Pellet Grill to try smoking and replace my Weber grill.  I am a true newbie and have no idea what I'm doing, but very open to learning.  Watching lots of videos on youtube and frankly, it's overwhelming. I'm very interested in making jerky (bought the jerky rack, turkey cannon and sear box), smoking chicken, wings and turkey.  I don't have any spices yet and looking for suggestions.

I look forward to learning from everyone and sharing my successes and screw-ups lol.

welcome from north Alabama --
The nice thing about cooking is you can't hurt what you're cooking 'cause it i already dead and you get to eat your mistakes.
