RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Most of the cooking I do is from old southern recipes. My main cooking is done on a water smoker or grill. Everything else is just a side thought which I look for recipes to cook. I long for a place where I could make a living with a smoker. Not a barbecue place but a true smoker paradise.
