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.

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

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.

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.

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!
