Austin has super blue eyes, my orange comes off, you can see he is @teamblue in his eyes!

[badfire2625]

Jonathon what a stretch!!! Austin can’t control the color of his eyes anymore than you can control the smile on your face when you wear orange.

Picture of my first bratwurst an attempt to make Canadian bacon it turn out to be a very good ham made out of a pork loin.

I see Pictures in didn’t go through.
Sorry about that .

[Fat_Bob]

Welcome to the pit Randy! Most likely you need to edit down the size of your pictures. By the way, NEVER listed to anyone on team orange! LOL

[calldoctoday]

smokedog Welcome aboard! Yes, Like Big Bob says, cut em down a bit. I edit mine consistently for these pages to 60% & they seem to still look pretty good, it is easy, & they work. It did not happen over night though. Yes, Blue is a perfect color for Louisiana, like Mixing a little Purple & Gold goes Bluish, Blue Crabs, Blue Bayou, Blue Cats, I am sure you can think of more reasons to GO BLUE!

5 LB of Waltons sweet chipotle jerky seasoning.
With my own on it . Extra seasonings and I found that
93% lean beef with one pound of unseasoned sausage gives
A very nice taste.

What are the team all about?

[Chef]

smokedog On a serious note, it is just a friendly competition of Orange which is Austin team, and the Blue which is Jonathon team. Just healthy fun.

Now on a practical note, Blue Team Rules. It has the most awesome members, the most knowledgeable members, a true team leader, i.e. Jonathon, and the Blue team RULES. Blue team even picks up the slack from the Orange team. And in addition, the blue caps look better on most people than the orange caps.

It really is all about fun. This community is wonderful.

Jonathon I think it’s time we create a new topic educating newcomers to just what the teams are prior to them being corrupted by some who are confused…LOL

[smokedog]

Do you pick own team or are you assigned to a team. I Watch a lot of Jonathan‘s videos.
Before attempt making something different don’t want to ruin some good meat.

[YooperDog]

smokedog welcome to the community. Don’t let your self get hoodwinked by the blue team. Lot of good knowledgeable folks here willing to help. Go Team Orange

[calldoctoday]

smokedog Well, in that case then, you’ve just got to naturally be Blue. Go ahead, update your profile & enjoy the Blue Life.

[Tex_77]

Rich here from Mid-Michigan,
I currently use a 25+ year old Brinkmann Vertical wood smoker converted to propane fueled. I didn’t use it much for the first 18 years but have really gotten into smoking meats in the last 7 or so years. I am researching for a new smoker as the Brinkmann won’t last much longer and the temp doesn’t go low enough for snack sticks and salami’s that I want to start making.
I also have a LEM Big Bite 10 rack dehydrator that I use for jerky.
I have to give a shout out to YooperDog a fellow Yooper (I’m originally from Esky) so I’m going to have to go with Team Orange.

dhg001 welcome to the community. I am about 2/3 of the way to Marquette on M-35. Hard water fishing is a little tough down that way, not the best down Escanaba way this year. Go Eskimos. Nice seeing you up on two wheels. I have a Road King and already chompin’ at the bit.
