Not really new to the grilling life, but new here, obviously ;)
Hailing from Edmonton Alberta, I recently rediscovered charcoal after 20+ years of gassers. I was bitten by the charcoal bug in 2010 when I got a Cobb as a gift from my wife and we smoked our first pieces of pork. We even managed a 9lb prime rib roast on it a few Christmases ago. It was then we discovered we need more room.
Moved on to a Master Forge dual grill (two lids and everything).
Essentially eliminating the need for our WeberQ that I now regret giving away - for no other reason than we miss the convenience of it for a week night burger fry.
Didn't really like (or investigate) the poor performance on the charcoal side of the Master Forge. I didn't find this site until after we recently (this summer) picked up our Weber Kettle 22.5. Haven't touched the propane grill more than three times since. (not counting the portable cheap Canadian Tire camping bbq)
(this was taken when we were camping in the mountains on Labour day weekend)
Tonight I'm picking up a vertical propane smoker (either a Master Forge or Masterbuilt Pro, both of which are the dual door models). So we currently own 4 units... The Mrs is getting a little concerned with me.
As for the "username", I served 10 years in the Canadian Forces, most of which was in the infantry. (The 3rd Bn, Royal Canadian Regiment for those in the know)
I think that's about it for now. Now it's time to jump back to the forums and finish deciding on which smoker will fit our needs/wants/budget the best.
Cheers,
