Picked up a new smoker last month and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's changed my life. Did a brisket last weekend that actually turned out pretty good. My kids and neighbors are all complaining I'm always in the backyard now. Planning a cookout this Saturday and I'm way too excited about it. I know it's just meat but something about the process is really satisfying to me.
Man, I feel this. With my schedule working nights I don't get to do stuff like this much, but when I do fire up the grill on my days off it's pure therapy. Nothing beats it.
This is exactly what I need to hear. I've been thinking about getting into smoking but wasn't sure if it was worth the investment. How much time does it actually take to get good at it?
Dude, a smoker is a game changer. I got one last spring and suddenly I'm the guy everyone wants to hang out with on weekends. What kind did you end up getting?
Brisket on a new smoker is peak dad life. How long did you let it rest? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a Traeger myself but my wife says we don't have the space.
The smoker life chose you man. Nothing beats that first successful cook when you nail the temperature and timing. What kind did you get?

This is the kind of hobby that actually makes sense. You get to feed your family AND have a legitimate reason to spend three hours in the backyard. Win win.
