Hi All,
I have been enjoying this site and the forums for some time now and I figured that I should finally join in.
A little about me. I first started flipping burgers in 1969 when my dad started teaching me about the grill. Since that time I have used up two Weber Kettles and three gas grills. As a family we got our first Weber kettle in 1971 and from that point on we always had great meals from the grill.
Once I got the hang of the kettle I have branched out in so many ways. I currently have my third kettle, a 3 burner Weber Genesis w/side burner. I custom ordered it with the stainless grill grates but the black porcelain lid.
I also have a BBQ grillware gas water smoker. This is the item that changed us forever. We have used the smoker for the following many times over. We smoke turkeys, chickens, ribs (baby's and spares), salmon , trout and of course pork butts. (The turkeys and chickens are always brined). We haven't had an oven roasted turkey in several years. This past year our smoker went on vacation with us and I had the best time ever.
For tonights dinner we had smoked chickens. I am currently still smoking two butts for pulled pork for Easter. (I couldn't do a 12 hour smoke with out throwing in a couple of chickens, since I had two open shelves).
It is great to be here on this forum and I look forward to meeting new friends in the smoking world.
Talk soon,
Jim
