Hi, I'm Ben.
I'm from Mid-Michigan and have been smoking for almost a year. I got a Brinkmann Gourmet for my 15th birthday, and recently got a firebox to go on my dad's Char-Griller grill that i haven't used yet. Other than BBQ, I play drums and tennis, and dabble in disc golf Civil War reenacting.
