Greetings from NorCal

Howdy. New to the forum, not so much to BBQ, but always learning! I plan to start competing next year, this year I'm benchmarking my times and attending comps. and classes - and working out the kinks.  My wife was born and raised in Buenos Aires Argentina, and on my obligatory trips down I fell in love with their style of grilling. So when we bought our last house I built a full Argentine quincho (A permanent BBQ area). My growing list of gear includes a couple of smokers, a pizza oven and a wood burning grill. For an Italian, I have a pretty open mind and I'm at home in the kitchen as well as in front of a fire. I'm the designated hunt camp cook every season. Here's my backyard setup. Hard to get it all in so here's a couple shots (also experimenting with attached photos

). Hope to contribute and learn some new stuff from you guys!

Pretty neat, looks great. I like that style as well. many years ago I worked in San Paulo where the used a similar type, steaks were fantastic
