    Greetings from Anaheim

    I will second your nomination and welcome you to the SoCal Smokers section. The Woodshed is my go-to source for cooking wood, even though they are an hour away.

    Cook-off at Santa Anita

    It is defiantly worth going to!!! Go to http://santaanitabbq.com/ and click 'tickets' to order. Type 'bigmista' in the coupon code box for a 50% discount. I believe that code is still good. The wife and I will be there judging it, then hanging with a few of the teams afterward.

    Calling all backyard So cal cooks!!

    4 out of 5 top 10's is great for a seasoned team, for a first timer it is a homerun with bases loaded. We would of done better if it wasn't for an "issue" with our fire. Tell you about it at Huntington Saturday.

I would reckon better quality than local guys, and I trust them to know their wood. Locals, you might...
