:)Hello all! I am Paula and I have been lurking here for over a year. Here are a few things I have learned, cooked, and purchased thanks to the great information on this board:
In no particular order
-Purchased a Bradley Original Smoker in August 2012
-Smoked a turkey, turkey parts, chickens, salmon, black cod, chicken wings, jagerwurst. canadian bacon, regular bacon, a homemade smoked Christmas ham from fresh pork, pork spareribs, brisquet, non-brined salmon to flavor with smoke then baked in oven, smoked almonds.
-Learned what a 3-2-1 is
-Learned what FTC is
-Learned how to deal with rubbery poultry skin
-Purchased the Big Easy to deal with it!
-Learned why my Bradley would get stuck and keep advancing bisquettes and how to fix it.
-Learned how much smoke to apply to my tastes
-Learned which smoke flavors I like the most with the different meats I was smoking
-Rigged up my Bradley with S hooks to hang sausages
-Learned about injections
-Soooo many other things I can't even remember them all!
-My friends and family are happy to help me experiment anytime. :)
So I want to thank you for your help and wonderful forum. I'm super hooked on this way of cooking, and hope to be able to contribute once I feel like I know something that would be helpful.
Thanks for listening
Paula

Welcome to the forum from NJ :)
Welcome Paula, its great to learn new things every time you smoke something!
Thanks all!
I do have a couple of photos of the stuff I have done. I didn't document every step but have some final photos. As soon as I can figure out how to post a photo, I'll try it out on another thread.
BTW, in this forum will it always require me to do the security thing- I mean where it makes sure you're not a robot by putting in the mystery letters and answering questions before it will post? Or is it just because I'm newer and after a few posts it will drop that? My eyes are not good and it's hard to see those characters.
Thanks!

I believe the security sign-in ends after your tenth post, or somewhere around that number.
