Hello from PA

[psychobrew]

I've been lurking (and occasionally posting) here for a while now and thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm just getting in to BBQ and smoking, and bought the MES from Sams Club to get started. Thanks to the wealth of information on this forum, my results are generally OK and quickly improving.

In any case, my name is Darren and I live in a tiny, historical town called Mercersburg which is located in central PA -- just north of the Maryland border.

I've never seena web site before that makes me so hungry.

Darren,

Welcome to SMF, everyone here will chime in if you have any questions. Get that MES cranked up and show us some Q-views.
Again welcome aboard.

Welcome to SMF There is a lot of smoking knowledge here and I am sure you will be like me and learn more than you would have thought possible in such a short time.

Howdy Darren.

Welcome to the forum Darren!

 

[fireguy]

good to have you here..

I have a good friend who came from Beeville (sp?). He's actually the one that got me in to Q. We drove from PA to Texas a few years ago, stopping in Beeville and Corpus Christy (again, SP?). His biggest problem is being a Cowboys fan

-- JK, kind of....It was a really cool trip though. I've never seen so many barbeque pits in my life.

The truck drivers in Houston are nuts.

In any case, I own a home built in the 1840's. Dirt basement and an attic straight out of a Steven King horror flick. The entire town looks like a relic from the civil war erra.

Thanks to all for the welcome!!

podevil or linescum, got any tips for the best meat markets in my area? I'd love to get my hands on a real Brisket one of these days, but the largest I can find is an under 8 pound flat...
