Got a new offset smoker last month and I cannot stop using it. Brisket, ribs, chicken, you name it. My neighbors probably hate me but the smell is incredible. Trying to perfect my rub recipe. What's everyone's go-to meat to smoke?
Man, offset smokers are addictive. We just try to get our Saturday time in when we can, and honestly smoking meat is the perfect dad hobby. Low stress, high reward.
That's my kind of Saturday project right there. I grab what time I can between work and the kids, but when I do get out there to smoke something, it's pure peace. Your neighbors will come around once they smell that brisket.
Same energy I had with my first woodworking project. Can't stop, won't stop. Just wait till you nail a 12-hour brisket. That's when it really hooks you.
That's the obsession I get. You've got a new hobby that also produces amazing food. How long before the neighbors start hinting around dinner time?

An offset smoker guy here too. There's something about tending a fire and feeding your family with what you've smoked that just hits different. What kind of wood are you running?
