well ive been aroung about a week. im from illinois. be 34 next month. been cooking since i was in my teens. i love seafoods and meats.

slow cooked and grilld foods are my staple. ya im a chunky guy. but ya got to love something. right?

i fish and hunt. im a taxidermist and a union plasterer by trade. been doing that for 15 years.

i have a rep around town of being a good cook. but some are afraid to eat my foods because of the chilihead rep i have as well. i grow a garden every year. and have since i moved out at 18. even when i rented before i bought my home. i grow chilis. lost of chilis. from bells to habenaros. and added exotics this year. a friend in texas that has his own rub and seasoning line sent me seeds. african fatili, scotch bonnet, fatili naga jolokis cross, and i grew jolokias this year for the first time. as well as horseradish for the first year.

i have 2 boys. tilers 9 joesef is 16 months. im married and do 90% of the cooking. my oldest loves my smoked tilapia and beef brisket. and i do a pretty good pork loin often. cooked one this month for several fishing buddies from another foreum at a campground. over charcoals and hardwood from the timber we were at.
heres me and my boys bluegill fishing. joesefs first.




heres a couple deer i mounted last year.



i also raise rabbits. newzelad whites and a couple other mixed breeds. for meat. so there be some rabbit on the smoking threads soon.

what the heck. i love pics. heres a brisket i did this spring. i take pics of alot of food to post in the diner on the catfish fourum too.


i burn wood for heat in my shop and even in the home now due to the redicioulious gas costs. i get apple and fruit wood from time to time. and its all split into small sticks about 1"x 1" square. and save it all for smoking wood.
 
Welcome to the forum and thanks for the pics. Would like to hear more about smoking the rabbits. Hunting season is almost upon us
