Howdy from Tampa...

Hi there, I've been lurking here for 5 months now and I've gained so much useful information that I thought I'd finally register. I did this primarily to say a heartfelt thank you to Jeff and the "regulars" who contribute. I've gained accolades and have been appointed as king of the neighborhood bbq thanks to the advice, recipes, and expertise gained browsing this site.

Even though I'm in Tampa, two weeks ago we had a cold spell and my MES wouldn't start heating. A quick search through the useful database later and I was outside with a warm rag on my thermostat. 5 minutes later I was smokin'. This saved the day.

So, again, thanks so much and I look forward to joining discussions and sharing the qviews here. I've got a ton of photos to sort through and get on my photobucket page!

Cheers!

Thanks for the warm welcome! A little more on my smoking history... I started with the Alton Brown ceramic pots and hot plate while camping in the Keys a few years back and I've been hooked ever since. I've stepped up to the MES30 since then and have smoked almost every weekend for the past year. For Xmas this year, I had my family in town so I smoked an 9 pound ham and a 10 pound turkey, both with Jeff's Rub. Used a home made honey glaze on the ham and left the turkey alone with the rub. Both were big hits... again, thanks to this site.
