Hello All!!!
Found this forum this morning while searching for the 'perfect butt' recipe. ;D I'm Jana. My husband is in the US Coast Guard and we are currently stationed in Kodiak, Alaska and lovin' it!!!
Welcome ChickenFarmers Wife...lotta good stuff on here...real friendly peeps too!! :)
Welcome to the forum. There are a couple of folks on here from Alaska. One of them sells the perfect rub and sauce for butts. His handle is Iceman.
W E L C O M E to the forum.
Lots of good knowledge here - very little of it mine. ;D
Welcome to the forum...I know nothing and am more then willing to pass that along!! Advice for the day use Mesquite ;D

westexas...she's new...(sorry to say this to a texas guy) but mesquite can be a bit overwhelming on fish/cheese/other stuff (well if I knew how to smoke cheese :)) I know you Texas men are beef guys but I gotta say I like a lot of other flavors as well? If you want to kick my arse...I live in...uh...Kansas...yeah...Kansas!! :)
Jana,
Welcome to the forum. Lots of useful information here. Most importantly, please extend all of our heartfelt thanks for your husband's service to our country. We can never adequately repay the debt owed.

I motion what everyone else said. You're gonna love this forum. However, we can accept no responsibility for the fact that you will need new clothes once you've poked around here for a bit. I wasn't a member here for more than 2 weeks when I had to buy new clothes with a larger waistline. The people here are top-notch and you'll find plenty of stuff to smoke on here that will be causing your waistline to grow, but it's all good.
Don't be afraid to ask questions.....someone here will have an answer for you.
Welcome again,
SD
Welcome to the site and thx for you and your husbands service to our country. And SD is right you will have to buy new clothes after some time on this site or just do what I do and spen plenty of time in the gym and on the treadmill.
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Our butt turned out sooooooooo delish today! We finished it off in the oven. But it was definitely heavenly! I've been reading up on smoking cheeses. I think that will be my next attempt.
We use our smoker regularly. My favorite is smoked halibut. Sweet halibut! It takes on a totally different flavor than smoked salmon does.
Tonight we had pulled pork, homemade buns, coleslaw, fried pickles and corn on the cob! Even the kiddos were grubbin.
Awesome chow.
I just learned of those fried pickles 2 years ago in Tennessee. The Hooters restaurant sells them here and there not as good as those at the Scoreboard in Nashville but they are tasty. Would like to know the best way to make them. I have copied a few recipes off the internet but Haven't tried them yet.
Welcome Jana. Kodiak is a nice place, I enjoyed my visits there

Jana;
Welcome to the forum. I also see that you joined the Bradley Recipe Site also; welcome to that as well.
I've seen many posts on requests on how to smoke halibut. It would be nice if you shared your method.
Welcome to the forum Jana. :)
Welcome Jana. :)
Welcome, Jana! I appreciate your husbands service and your's as a military wife! I'm just up on the Kenai Peninsula in the little town of Soldotna. Welcome to Alaska and the great pursuit of the best smoked foods!
Welcome Jana. I'm just out of Wasilla in Knik. Glad to meet you and hope your enjoying Alaska.
Welcome CFW! (Would that be as in chicken halibut?!?! ;) ) Old X-Coastie myself and I am sooooo jealous....you "south islanders" got it all; halibut, salmon, crab, deer, bear....right there in your front and back yards! Heck, ya even got a WallyWorld, (as compared to our mere Safeway here in Homer :-\ ) Have fun down there....look forward to hearing more about your island cooking n' smoking!

I cannot wait to start fishing this year! I think today I'm gonna mix up some venison summer sausage. mmmm mmm mmmm
From where I sit (Indiana), I'm envious of all of you folks in Alaska. That's where I'd rather be. My heart was born for up there, however, my heart is with my wife and we're here in Indiana. At least I can live vicariously through all of you guys up there in God's country!
