Welcome! As you have probably seen, this place is like a smoker building virtual library. So much knowledge and information. I joined recently and have received a ton of helpful advice for my current build and have quite a few ideas and plans for future builds. Post up pictures when you get started!
Welcome to the crew. Stow your kit and post some pics.
Learning generally boils down to "Repetition or the avoidance of pain", some people learn by doing, some by watching and some just have to pee on the electric fence.
Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right. Henry Ford
