Roll Call (Start Here First)

Newbie in Stony Ridge, Ohio. I have an old, 4 x 8 block smokehouse on the property that I have never used. Time to figure it out. Ordered a couple of seasonings to try making some jerky. Here goes nothing!
Jonesy I’m with Chef and would love to see that smokehouse. But first, welcome to the greatest community of meat processing enthusiasts you’ll ever find. This place is so friendly that Team-Blue had to split off of the original group ( @Walton-s key color) and now Team-Orange to try to stir the pot a little for fun. Now, it seems that there are a few people going rogue and forming their own Team-Grey… It doesn’t matter what color they identify with, they all started orange and they’re (mostly) all awesome people. But seriously, choose Team Orange then share with and learn from everyone. Austin , Jonathon and all the rest of the (insert new name here) Meatgistics users that I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with here are just frigging awesome. But the good guys wear an

Welcome aboard Jonesy, if you have questions about jerky I am sure they can be answered on this sight. I would encourage you to go to meatgistics and look for jerky to find good info.

Jonesy Welcome to the group. You do have some open spaces in that part of Ohio. Happy smoking in the near future. Your family will be better for it.

Jonesy welcome fellow Buckeye. You have found a great place with people who are willing to help and have amazing knowledge and experience. Not me, but a lot of other people.

A few pics, as requested. Opened up the smoke house to start cleaning today. Dirt floor - not sure how I’m gonna handle that. Lots of spider webs. Sliding racks look pretty cool. Should hold a lot of jerky. I’m getting excited.“Never eat more than you can lift.”

Made it easy to clean out ashes. Most of my smoking is done with only wood. (I use maple and oak) if your worried about it, just put fire brick on the floor

It should be interesting getting a feel for how it maintains temps and how you will regulate the temperature.
Should work well for low and slow smoking.
The spiders will head south the first time you light a fire in it. A quick sweep with a broom will take care of the cobwebs. -

My brother has an old one on his property. I might have to look at it and see if we could use it for cold smoking at least. It is pretty big.

Chris from outside Chicago. Been grilling and making bbq for several years now. Started with a WSM 22" and now have a Rec-Tec 700. Have been getting into grinding my own meat and making sausages. Found Walton’s for casings and couldn’t be happier with them. Looking forward to learning alot more from this group!
Clasko2 Welcome to the community. There is a lot of knowledge here with folks willing to share and help out. Bring on your questions and share your experiences. We are all here to learn. Go Team Orange

Jonesy welcome to the community. We are all here to learn and feel free to ask questions. There is a lot of experience here that you can draw on. Awesome looking smoker, dirt floor no issue, spiders will move out or become a crunchy snack. It will probably be a bit of a learning curve on how to operate the smoker, but that is part of the adventure. Go Team Orange
If you are non-committal team grey, it’s those team blue folks I just don’t know what they are thinking. We are all having fun here, just sayin’ -
Kevin from New Milford, CT. I have been grilling and smoking for about 10 years. Just got all my new equipment to start doing snack sticks and summer sausage. Putting my first batch of Willie’s Snack sticks in the smoker today. I have a Masterbuilt XL propane, and a Custom built wood smoker from 3’ pipeline.

Kevlee a big welcome to the community! Willie’s is a good snack stick but I think you will become a convert to the bourbon and peppercorn. Don’t forget the high temp cheese. As you may have noticed team blue is a bit passive aggressive with their calls to join their fold, don’t take the bait. Team Orange
is the way to go, if you are non-committal type you can try out team grey, you can always come back to Orange. -
Jonathon how do I get my regular contributor badge? I am not able to add it to my groups.
