NO Start smoking something right away!! I am quite sure you won't become addicted on the first smoke. You have to smoke like 100 things before you become addicted!! Trust Me on this!! ;D

Alrighty folks here goes.  Trying it for the first time tonight.  Just couldn't hold out till the weekend.  Doing some boneless skinless chicken breasts with a simple Emeril chicken rub.  Windy outside so temperature isn't climbing to well.  I'll keep the ET372 plugged in and watch it.

Wish me luck.

We're almost there!  Meat's at about 155.  Another 10 minutes or so and I figure it'll be time to take em out.  Bringing the chicken to work tomorrow.  My co-workers will be the most honest critics I could find anywhere.  A bunch of suit and tie, 6 figures a year guys that tell it like it is.

Thanks for your service as well brother!  Alaska for retirement huh.  I heard it's beautiful and I woudn't have complained to have gotten stationed there (I never did), but, I'd be miserable in the cold.  Bad enough here in Reno, Nevada.  But then again, the fishing and hunting there might make up for having to deal with the cold for so many months.  Give a little get a little I guess.

Yes, Alaska is a great place for retirement... especially when you have the time to get out of the state for a few months in the winter.  We've found that winter here is no worse than other places we've been; maybe a bit longer and a bit darker in Dec and Jan.  Nice to break it up and go sponge off of family and friends for a while  ;D  Yes, good fishing and hunting... we filled the freezer with sockeye, but the moose remained safe this season.
