Greetings from Watertown, TN :)

[asfastasitgets]

Just happened upon this forum the other day via Google and fell in love. :) 

My name is Shawn, and as stated, live in Watertown, TN (about 25 miles East of Nashville). I've been playing pitmaster since 2010, but have been grilling since 7 years old or so (I'm 32 now). My smoker has been in hiatus since 2011, hiding at my parents' house, and it finally made its way here Sunday (Chargriller Smoking Pro). It was fired Monday morning to smoke a 9 lb chicken, and yesterday it produced a 4 lb pork loin and 2 picnics, which I just shredded. Apparently, Q is like riding a bike, cause everything came out spectacular. :)

Thanks to this site, I found and utilized the finishing sauce from SoFlaQuer, but used my rub as spice instead of Tony Chachere's (which I use some of in my rub lol) so the flavor profile matched. It came out awesome, I've been trying to find a recipe like that for years (not looking too hard, I guess), as I abhor the thick red goopy sauce so much of America adores. 

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. :)
