    Did I catch a disease?

    I don't smoke cigarettes but I chew and the cravings are hard to ignore. Just like this smoking of foods I am always buying meats, commercial rubs, making homemade rubs and the buying of different equipment. The upside my wife knows this all is harmless except the urge to make more Q and she...

    Did I catch a disease?

    It is no laughing matter, as I taste test my cook before I turn it loose on the unsuspecting. I may not eat much after it done but have to admit the taste testing has more than rounded me out just a little. Its not about me, it about perfection and I love this.

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    This is an interesting question one that I don't mind responding to. I am sure many of us here on this forum are gamers. For myself I am an old gamer when you start a new game or new character you have to make up a name. I can't count how many times I have typed in a name and it has already been...

    Novice smoking fool here !!!

    Thank you SeenRed for the welcome, never really knew this was harder than cooking a few steaks. It is time consuming as well as dedication to BBQing in a different way. I like to BBQ but not for me my goal is to satisfy the taste of others. And my family well they are my guinea pigs I have laid...
