Hello, All!

[irishman]

Hello from the Chicago western 'burbs!  A little cold and too much snow at the moment to cook outdoors, but I'm planning/looking ahead!

Been grilling for a LONG time, pretty much got that mastered, so I thought I would branch out to smoking b/c I could NEVER get baby backs done the way I really like them on any of my grills.

Anyway, been lurking around on the site for awhile, thought I would join up after I ordered my new WSM 18 and a few necessary accessories.  Hoping to season it up next weekend...

Be well and keep on smokin'!

Welcome Irishman.  Good choice on the 18 inch WSM.  I've got one myself.
