Hello from western washington

jaredpost · October 21, 2009, 09:35:01 PM

I guess I skipped the introductions last week and went straight into the asking questions forum. I live in the wet part of washington and BBQ and smoke food year round (very addicting). I've been using a chamber smoker for about a year now and came across a Bradley smoke engine and a commercial food warmer. So now I'm building myself a new smoker and going to give the Bradley system a try.

Are there any other smokers from the pacific northwest on here? I've seen a lot of people from the midwest and up into Canada so far. Everyone has been extremely helpful and courteous, I glad to find this forum and hope I can learn from all of you and contribute where I can.

thanks,
Jared

Hey Jared I think I already welcomed you but Welcome to the forum. I live to the north of you just across the border in Surrey B.C.
Good luck with your project. I ended up woth 2 smoke generators so I am on the search for an old food proofer. I got a scrape yard here that deals with a lot of old stainless food equipment. Going to check there on friday to see what they have or to put my order in.
I will be ordering a PID to use on my OBS and will also use it on the proofer too.

Welcome neighbor I live just across the border in Langley, BC. Alot of good info here. I just took a batch of Salmon out of the brine to be smoked tommorow. I love living on the Wet Coast. Lots of Salmon fishing to go yet this year so the smoker will get a real good work out for the next month or so. Look forward to to seeing your new home built, remember you MUST post pictures of your smoker when you finish it and the building process, also the results of some of your smokes....
