Howdy, my name is Brett and I live in McKinney, TX (on the north side of the Dallas metroplex).
I have been grilling for years on a variety of grills (in-ground natural gas grill at my parent's house, Weber Kettles with charcoal, the little in ground charcoal grills at camp sites, and finally my very own Weber propane 3-burner grill), but I have never owned a smoker. Although I have been wanting one for several years. I have gone so far as trying to use the cast iron smoker boxes in the gas grill, but never got the results I was wanting. So I am still a smoker newbie....
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]But last week my in-laws neighbor gifted me his Smoke Hollow No. 5 because he got a new smoker and needed to make room in the back yard. Fast forward to this weekend and my first smoking foray...rack of baby back ribs, tri-tip and corn on the cob. Had the in-laws over and they and my wife all raved. Hopefully they weren't just being nice. But it could have also been the margaritas that I provided....LOL.[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Looking forward to getting to know you all virtually and benefiting from the collective knowledge here, and hopefully being able to contribute...[/font]
