Occupation:  Software Design

Hobbies:  Recording and playing music, most sports, BBQ (duh), and most recently (and importantly), being a daddy!

BBQ story:

I've got some friends who have always been BBQ snobs.  You know the type (look in mirror - now)...the ones who are quick to interject that hamburgers and hotdogs over an open fire is not BBQ.  I fought with them for a while.  Having owned a Weber 22.5 kettle for some time, I decided to get a Smokenator.  I slowly (pun) became better and better.  I started with pork shoulder and moved on from there.  I've since smoked many great pieces of meat and, as of about a month ago, I upgraded to a WSM 22.5.  Of course, I now agree that grilling and BBQ are two different things altogether.

I have now given my Smokenator to a close friend and I'm showing him the ropes.  I may eventually upgrade to a wood/firebox type of smoker but for now - I *love* not adding wood every hour.  Even if I do upgrade, I will keep the WSM...it's been great.  Here's to hoping the WSM will burn LONG and SLOW for many many many hours straight.

Peace.

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! 

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a Kindle Fire, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "Terms of Service" notes.....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per Jeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!
