I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Fresh cut grass on a Friday night/Saturday's in the late summer or early fall.

Yes, my friend... the smell of a smoker with an offset firebox burning oak, mesquite, or pecan is the best thing a Texan could smell :D

 best thing a Texan could smell :D

First learned about smoking here on aces high bb. Got a gas fired one(cast iron box for wood chips and a bowl for water) cause I was new and didn't know how to control temp with the vents, but it was awesome. Gonna invest in one like in the pic next spring and give it a shot

Try to get a "New Braunfels Smoker"  I give you my word that this is the best smoker out there. 

If you like barbecue, this piece of cooking tool will definitely help you make the best barbecue you can make for your guests to enjoy. This smoker is also powder-coated and rust-resistant.


My Dad got one back when I was a kid and he still has it.  I think the BBQ taste and smell has gotten even better :)

Yeah, the best I can do is oak firewood, the mesquite and others are small chunks. I am in the northeast, and they are not big into smoking up here. They want to turn on the gas and have their food in five minutes. I did chop down a small flowering cherry, maybe I can use that :)

It took awhile, but I figured it out. A few years back I ordered a rack of baby backs from a place called the texas road house. So tender, and the meat just fell off the bones. I could never get my ribs like that. Then one day I came across a post here about BBQ, and learned about smoking at low temps for long periods of time.

Used this rub (http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/rib1.html) and smoked for around 5 hours at about 210(baby backs)

The bones slid out clean. Even the wife who really doesn't each much meat couldn't stop eating them.

What I find enjoyable is the smell that comes from the smoker while I am sitting in the back yard. Best smell in the world

The sense of smell is the sense most closely associated with memory.  Every time I smell lilacs I have very vivid visions of PT during basic training in Ft. Jackson.  It was April (1989) and the first time I'd been in the south other than in the middle of winter/very early spring.  The smell of the air was absolutely intoxicating.  These are the kind of memories that although you don't realize it at the time, stay with you for the rest of your life.

I like driving past farms in the spring and fall; the general farm smell (right as they are spreading manure on the fields is a little overkill).  I grew up in Detroit and never had that; it brings back memories of summer vacations.  I drive by farms all the time now.

Airports and pilot lounges.

The mixed smell of jet fuel and avgas.  Throw in a little bit of airshow smoke and that is awesome.

Then the pilot's lounges have that leather chair and stale coffe smell.  Will put you to sleep after a nice flight.

I dig the smell of rain or fog, around town or better yet, out in the woods.  I lived in Scotland when I was a kid and that smell takes me back everytime.

Not necessarily my favorite, but an amazing sensation is going through Gilroy, CA...just south of San Jose.  The whole place smells like garlic.
