I built my first salmon smoker at 12 and I have been addicted since then to cooking grilling & smoking. I have built over 50 smokers easy, probably close to 100, and most still in use ranging from extravagant to budget. I LOVE smoking meat. I was a chef for several years at a first class grilling joint when I was younger & have fine tuned those skills over the last 30 years. Its been a passion since. I would take on bobby flay any day without thinking twice, because I know what Im doing, not because I am arrogant. If you were on my facebook you'd understand HA HA! Its ALL about meat. a number of members are on there and will tell you near every night in our house its a cook fest of what i can make happen, its just a passion and love for good food with whatever i have at my disposal, sometimes fine cuts & sadly sometimes broke crap turned into cuisine. I'm not a rich man I'm just creative and daring. I start thinking about what im going to cook for dinner before i leave for work near everyday, it truly is, just part of me :dunno:
i have built and used so many smokers and grills, and done so much cooking, smoking, & grilling, i have pretty much seen, ruined, succeeded and cooked it all, so when it comes to problem solving i try to help if i can, so if a question is posted i WILL respond. its just who i am :dunno: sorry man no google here just answers from tried & true experience, if you doubt that there are members here that have known me from other boards for many years, hell me and Dogtuk have been reading each others recipes and tricks for 5-10 years easy on other boards, I am not new, just to huntwa.
Well, as soon as I started posting answers I started getting (on some days) about 10 + pm's a day asking for help so i started responding to threads more & posting tutorials to help others enjoy it. There is nothing worse then dropping $75+ on a nice grilled dinner & it disappointing the ones you love :tdown:
anyways if i appear to be a know-all-all im sorry, TRULY, I never mean to come off that way, just trying to offer solid answers to folks :( I work damn hard for every dollar I make and when its wasted on a dinner thats ruined or meat I worked hard to get and its ruined, its disappointing to all. so i try to help, nothing more. if i knew how to kill deer in 3 seconds Id share it, but i dont, so i share what i am good at :dunno:
well, we all have our haters, and a few people have told me i was wrong. I tend to be very proud of my knowledge and told 2-3 members to take a flying leap in those cases because i am very confident in my abilities & knowledge :-[ it appears i have ruffled a few feathers by telling a few doubters to take a flying leap not so nicely, for that I apologize.
I love this site and will try to NOT post so much info and advice, and not sound like a know it all, I truly am sorry I never meant it that way so i removed 73 of my replies. I really dont know it all I just share what I DO know.
again, my apologies...

I think your a swell guy. And I'm quite sure your a great smoker hand. Prolly could get as close to Arkansas bbq as I could get up here in the NW. You have said a few things that kind of rub me wrong, but nothing was said to me personally or indirectly. But it's all good. We all do it. But it's pretty big of you to apologize, publicly. Takes a big man, for true.It's good to take pride in a skill. But we all know pride hurts in the long view of things. Good cooking, and an even better '13 hunting season to you!
Dan.

Your last sentence bothers me a bit. It has nothing to do with your advice and you sounding like a know it all. There is a certain amount of ownership in calling someone a NEWB and not expecting some sort of backlash just because someone has a different opinion than you do. Its easy to confront or let someone know they have a different viewpoint than you without putting them down. Note, I didn't start this off by saying you are immature and an idiot or hopefully didn;t insinuate that either, but to tell you you are wrong, or see a different viewpoint than you. I might also add, a simple apology or declaration carries more clought when not trying to alienate another individual, or try to get one team to go against another.
If I made a comment about buck behavior and you called me a NEWB, I might feel insulted a bit, well probably not. How about me declaring you a NEWB at barbecueing. Would that increase your blood pressure at all? Taking your toys and running to the other end of the playground will not solve anything. I honestly hope you step back a minute and see the big picture then understnad your experience and thoughts are welcome here.

well bone, I never thought in my wildest dreams calling someone a newb would cause such a ruckus, I see members called 10x worse daily and they are not mnade a huge spectacle of, I am quite humiliated by all the inflammatory remarks about me to be honest :-[
i was called a putz and that was not made a spectacle of
one of the cooking threads was hammered off topic for 2 pages not one reply on topic, i clicked "report to moderator" 2x, nobody cared
i too have been called a newb here many times concerning hunting, nobody cared
i have had several members call me a know it all, one via pm
i have been called worse, nobody cared
is being called a newb really a bad thing? a insult? worth crying to mommy over? i dont think so but then again i have thick skin and can take it i guess.
so yes i was quite taken back after i was hammered so hard by so many members over one post, yes i know its unfortunate I fell into a witch hunt and was used as an example, fine if it betters the site so be it :tup:
I GOT THICK SKIN I CAN TAKE IT, ........BUT.....but for future sake, maybe those jumping on others being rude should not switch roles and suddenly play the victim when they have succeeded in offending someone or insulting their integrity. mods should tell them "buck up sissy you started it dont whine to me"
But in the future i will not respond to the insults at all, Ill just click the tattle tale button, which feels quite unmanly to be honest, but, I promised bearpaw i would and im a man of my word because nto one member on here is worth losing my right to post and stay here, sorry guys no love from the kracker :sry:
