Well, it's official today. I have been a member here a year, and as far as my smoking skills, what a year it's been!
As some of you know, I have been a decent cook out of neccessity <heh> for quite a while, and have made sausage and other processed meats for a few years now. But the one thing I really never got QUITE right was the "seasoning" of meats- and other things for that matter- with smoke.
One of the best and in my opinion most important concepts I learned here is the "Thin and Blue" concept. Now, don't get me wrong... I learned a ton about prep, seasonings and other things too. But the Thin Blue is what set my Q free!
I'd like to take a bit of time and thank all who have helped me to the skill and confidence level I have attained in this short time, and there's been alot of ya. Some folks have moved on to other places to hang out, some are still around. No matter- I DO thank you for the education!
And a special thank you to Meowey for the nomination to the OTBS... I was and still am extremely proud of the honor of being included in that group of folks! And I hope I have helped others in the quest for the sometimes elusive Great Q with Thin Blue along the way as all OTBS members aspire to do.
To another year! Cheers! \_/
