    Better than 3-2-1 !!

    I'm from central MS. I've recently become addicted to making great bbq. At 43 years old, I very recently learned how to cook a really good steak at home. I can smoke chicken and ribs proficiently but I'm addicted to becoming great. I cook mostly on a Weber 26" kettle. I absolutely love this...
