Hi fellow grillers, smokers and pit masters, my handle is Huck short for Huckleberry and here is a little profile on myself.
I hail from just north west of Houston, TX, in a community called Cypress. I've been cooking BBQ for over 15 years at the Houston Championship Barbeque Cook ,as well as other cook offs in the area. I also cook Q for volunteers at the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo each year. At the Houston Cook off i serve smoked brisket, ribs, sausage, and chicken for about 3,000 people over a three day period. At the Livestock Show, I serve up 240 meals a day for 21 days ranging from traditional BBQ, taco's, smoked turkey, sausage chicken gumbo,peach, blackberry, and apple cobblers just to name a few.. I also cook for other local benefits from time to time:grilling_smilie::grilling_smilie:

I've been cooking since I was a young lad training on the shirt tails of my father who was an Executive Chief. Thru him, I've had the opportunity to work in about every station in a commercial kitchen. when it comes to cooking/smoking Q, I use primary three smokers, an offset dry smoker mounted on a 24' trailer with two vertical towers and a 7" X 3" main cooking area, a 500lb rotisserie Pit mounted on a 24' trailer, and a 20' offset dry smokers on its own small trailer.

I'm a Navy Vet, Viet Nam era, have worked in computing systems and networking for many years, a retired vol. firefighter, and a certified emergency management specialist. My shoe size is .....naaaaaaaaa not going that far.

Hope to join in with all the great discussions. .

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per Jeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!
