Title: Hello from Minneapolis, MN
Post by: mnguy1959 on August 09, 2013, 05:15:32 PM
Hello everyone.  I am a newbie to this site and am excited to learn more about smoking and grilling.  I recently purchased an electric smoker from Smokin-It (model 2) and couldn't be happier.  I also belong to the forum over at Smokin-it, however, this forum also caught my attention due to the massive content.  Looking forward to meeting members and making new friends!

Welcome from Brooklyn Park! It's great to have another Minnesotan on the forum. I look forward to hearing about your cooks on the Smokin-It. We should have a get together of our own one of these days... how about at Pappy's place?  ;) ;D

mmmm.... I do have some walleye in the freezer - might have to grill them this weekend.  Maybe create some walleye burgers. ;D

Hey, did you hear the one where Ole and Lena went deer hunting...?

David, as I recall (at least over in Dakota) the way the story goes (it's a legend actually) Ole and Lena go deer huntin' ... but only Ole comes back. Ole got a big doe, and Lena, who didn't fully understand the concept, got a different kind of deer. When asked about it, Ole said the hunting trip turned out better than he could've ever imagined.  ;D

Welcome to the gang!from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I do get up to the twin cities a few times each year. There are a few others here in Iowa also.  I like the idea of a Midwest Gathering (not to take anything away from the awesome fall gathering already in place).  We'd have to plan it so as not to interfere. Minnesota would be a good possible location for it, we just need to decide which of the two seasons we'd want to have it in... Winter or Road Construction  ;D ;) But seriously ....

Sounds like fun - what do y'all think?

I LOVE IT!
Minnesota Grillin' Mafia, MGM I sure hope those initials aren't used by any other organization  ??? ;D Not that it matters, I think David should use them anyway... It just fits. I don't want to derail this thread, so if dr Holly wants to start a thread on this topic we'll all start posting to it. And, of course, I'm guessin' that thread will also contain more on the ongoing saga of Ole and Lena, and maybe even Sven (Sven is the quite, shy one that we don't hear much about)  :P
I would be honored to hang out and do some grillin' and chillin' with David, Teesquare, Pappy, (forgive me for not listing everyone here due to space and time) and all the other Midwesterners.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.  UW...good to see you on here as well!  I have been a bit busy, but now that things are settling down, I will try to be more active on this great forum.  It looks like MN is well represented, and would love to get  together with my fellow Minnesotans this Fall for anyone interested.
