I was raised around the water, which meant water sports and fishing. We spent a lot of time at local lakes catching trout. I smoked my first rainbow trout at 12 in a little chief electric smoker. From there, I began my journey to smoking jerky of all types, including venison. Currently, I balance smoking meats like ribs and chuck roast against chinook salmon. I also run a Youtube channel with detailed test cooks featuring budget-friendly smokers. When I am not smoking food, you can find me on the water fishing, but my days of watersports are past!
