Newbie here from cetral Tx

Post by shannonC » October 6th, 2019, 11:27 am

Been lurking here a few weeks. Thought I would go ahead and introduce myself. I'm a heavy truck/heavy equipement mechanic by profession. I've been building smokers on the side for about 4 hears now. I tried to load a few pics of some of my cookers but the files are too large. I'll edit them amd try to get some posted.

Welcome


If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?
