Another Illinois Join

[jedorf]

Hey guys, just wanted to say a quick hello. I've been lurking on the site for a few months now, so wanted to officially get my first post out there. I'm in the Peoria area, and still pretty new to this hobby.

I've done one of each of the big hitters (brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, and a fattie) on my 18.5" WSM, and look forward to continued improvement in rounds 2, 3, and so on. Thanks for all the help this site has provided so far.

Welcome neighbor, I'm in washington too.

 

[rickw]

Looks like we might have enough folks from IL. to do a get together

 

[nickelmore]

It seemed like everyday last week there was someone from IL signing up.

I was wondering if there was a way to actually sort usernames by state and actually see how many active memebers are from IL.

Welcome aboard from a fellow central illinoisian, I agree Rick looks like a we are getting enough for a get together.
