Greetings from KY and the Big Blue Nation!

Good evening everyone!

Just a quick background. I have a background in many different areas but mainly meat and food processing and quality and food safety. I've been smoking, grilling, running a bbq restaurant, vending and catering for the past 20 years. I've also done some bbq competitions for the last few years.

I've worked 70 hours a week and lost my rear in the restaurant biz. But I'm still catering, vending and competing and am on my way back! Sounds crazy I know but I wouldn't do anything else! 

I love my family! My son is Sam of the Sam Diggity's BBQ. So named and the logo was created because he kept asking me to build him a smoker he could pull behind his tricycle when he was a toddler! I look forward to contributing to and learning from everyone on here. Have a great week everyone!

David welcome to SMF glad you joined us. As a Gator and SEC fan it's good to see Big Blue finally getting better on the football field

Thanks! We're kind of hoping we can finally get some momentum going with the old pigskin. It gets a little frustrating up here in the early fall.

That QB is a monster and while a Gator fan first I'm an SEC fan second. What kind of pit are you running?

Hopefully it will be a fun season. Our best bet for a running back went to Alabama. A kid from right here at our local high school, Madison Southern. His name is Damien Harris. A really good player and kid.

I have several different rigs. I've got several Webers when I compete, 2 custom offset stick burners and some set it and forget it units I had in my restaurant for catering and big cooks. I also share a huge offset with a buddy for when I need to cook whole pigs. It's a 1000 gallon tank that will hold a couple 200 lb pigs. It basically takes a small forest to cook them for about 16-20 hours.

That's cool I have a 1000 gal tank that I keep saying someday I'm going to make a smoker out of. Currently use a couple GOSM's or a Lang 84
