Hello everyone!
My name's Chris, I'm 28 and I'm from Birmingham, England (UK). I've been a lover of food for some years but only recently discovered what I consider to be the best of American barbecue - Texas-style, low and slow smoked meats like brisket, ribs, pulled pork and sausage. We're lucky in the UK that some folks have tried to bring it over to the UK and replicate it, perhaps with some success, but it's not as well known as I'd like it to be so my mission is to be a good missionary and spread the good word about some of the best food in the world.
I'd love to own a proper offset smoker one day but, for now, have my eye on a Pit Barrel Cooker and hope to be setup and smoking in a few weeks time (when I can afford to buy one, along with some high-quality meat). I do own a basic kettle barbecue and I did manage to smoke some meat on there after cooking it indoors first and then putting it above some smoking wood chips for about 5 minutes - it tasted great and now I want more!
I'm also starting a YouTube channel about my journey as I'd love to start a business around my love of food one day and I think it could help others to see the journey as starting a business isn't easy and I think people would like to see where I succeed and where I fail and see all of the mistakes I make along the way. If you're interested, I can hopefully add my details to my signature shortly after I get my first video uploaded (I recorded it last night).
If you'd like to chat, please send me a message otherwise have a great day!
