New Noob From Bama

[mouth-waterin]

Hi folks, just checking in to introduce myself. I'm Tim from Alabama and I am looking forward to learning some things here about grilling and smoking. Speaking of smoking I just quit and my appetite is much stronger now! I figure I will probably gain about 20 lbs which shouldn't hurt too much on my frame. Since I have this new taste for food and its Springtime I might as well learn some techniques from folks that have been paying more attention to quality than I have. Have always loved to grill but never took the time to learn how to do it right. As long as I didn't burn it it was okay to me. Want to learn how to make it the best I can since I have some time on my hands after recently retiring. Thanks in advance for any tips, advice, or recipes you are willing to share!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes folks!   BAMAFAN, I am Roll Tide through and through. I've lived in T-town for 45 years so it kinda came naturally

    Smoke Tech, I have a New Braunfels grill with the box on the side. I have had this grill nearly 10 years now and shows no sign of needing replacement anytime soon. I may look for something more specifically made for smoking at some point. By the way, I am all for Auburn as they are an Alabama school and an SEC team. Come game day vs Bama, well that's a whole different story!
