Hey there from HVACScoutdad

[hvacscoutdad]

Hey name is Andy, go by HVACscoutdad cause I am a HVAC service tech, and work in wholesale for HVAC contractors (where the service techs get their parts and supplies to fix your furnac/ac equipment.  I am also active in scouts with my boys, which is where the dad part comes from.

I am in Purdue Country (Lafayette, IN USA), but am not a die hard purdue fan.   GO NOTRE DAME!!!!!  Unless its hocke then GO BLACKHAWKS!!!!!

I just got a charbroil 430 smoker this past week from my wonderful wife as an anniversary gift and got it put together today.  Planning on christening it with pulled pork.  

I also have a gas grill for normal meal use.  Some people harass me about using gas instead of charcoal until I explain the time factor of 4 boys with crazy schedules, and work schedules of myself and my wife. 

I have already learned a lot from this site and plan on utilizing it every chance I get for techniques, ideas, and bragging.

Hope you all have a good day smoking and grilling.

Just put my pork on the smoker for the day, taking pics at each stage to document.   Do I keep this thread going for the qview or start a new one in a different area?
