Not so new, but first-time poster

Good morning, all!

I actually created an account quite awhile ago to see some pics, etc that were posted, but this will be my first post. 

Texas guy here, from the McKinney/Frisco area north of Dallas. I've been cooking for quite awhile, do some small catering, and I compete as well.

I have two Primo Oval XLs, two Weber 26.75" kettles (one of them is a Smoke-EZ conversion that just rocks), and a Weber 22.5" that I've converted into a Cajun Bandit (I have both the Cajun Bandit conversion and the Stacker) that is equally awesome. To keep from transporting the ceramics (hands-down my favorite grills ever) a bunch is the prime driver for why I have so many kettle smokers. I also had a 22.5" Weber Smokey Mountain that I sold because I like the conversions better and can maintain more stable temps for longer. PLUS, undress 'em and they're back to being the best non-ceramic grills on the planet :)

Anyways, thanks much for the great site! Lots of good information here. Looking forward to getting to know some of you and engage in some of the great discussions. 

Take care, all! Have a fantastic week.
