Thanks for all the kind words everyone, but I'm no pro by any means. Just a good ole boy who learned everything from trial and error along with all the knowledge shared on Forums like this one. Smokin'/cooking is just a hobby of mine now that I'm retired and have the time. It allows me the opportunity often to use my MAK 4-5 times a week ... I try and learn something new every day. Practice makes perfect.
I was just lucky enough to have Ulysses Press find my Blog when they were looking to publish a wood pellet smoker-grill cookbook. When they first contacted me via email about a book I thought it was spam but something told me to reply ... and the rest as they say is history!
