Thanks for having me!

[bbqexaminer]

I am a writer for the Examiner.com, the Sacramento Outdoor Cooking Writer (or as they call us, Examiners). I've been a serious BBQ/Smoke guy for about 20 years now, and learn more every day.

I use an offset for BBQ, a Cookshack for smoking, and a Performer for grilling.

My "real" job is a shopping center owner and developer, which was recently voted as the Worst Job Imaginable in a random poll.

Not really, but I have plenty of struggling restaurants, have done some catering myself, and I love the enterprise side of the cooking business as much as the pleasure of cooking for family and friends.

I'll post some articles on occasion; most will be tutorials aimed at the neophyte. I'm pretty sure most people here are not in that class, but if it helps some, I hope that's all right with you.

Thanks again, and if anyone has a suggestion for a feature article, please look me up. It can even be you!

John Wallace
