If a person needs to know something should he start a new topic or search a forum for info and ask under that?
I don't find the forum search engine works very well. You can also try Google or Bing. If that fails, ask away.
I wouldn't spend too much time searching. If you can't find it in the FAQ section then I would start a topic. Make sure your subject is framed as a question and you"ll get a ton of help. Some of it even useful ;D ;D
I agree with the other about the search engine on this forum.
To use a Google search type the following (I forgot who originally posted this tip); in which for the following example cold smoked is the example of the subject you are searching for.
