How time flies!
Not too long ago, I posted this : http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...t=14738&page=2
And today marks number 1000. Alot has happened since the 500th post thread. I experienced my first BBQ comp event last weekend,I am just a few "armor shinings " from induction to the OTBS,The woodpile has grown to huge proportions with many varieties of future fuel, and I find myself with numerous thoughts about starting a competition team.
I need to come up with a team name first,then I can jion a couple organizations like the GLBBQA, and the KCBS. I plan on taking a judging class, and becomming certified, mainly to help myself become a better competitor, and understanding the way it all works.
Its such a short time ago that I was looking for advice, and spinning in circles trying to tune my cheapo charbroil. I kept at it, and conquered the monster. The confidence and experience I have gained from all the helpfull folks on this site, has inspired me to continue with the sharing of information, friendship, and goodwill.
I would say to the new folks on this wonderfull site,"be patient,use the information available, and tailor it to your needs". This site has some great and unselfish folks who go out of their way to help anyone and everyone. The "helping" mentality has spread all across the forums here, and strengthens each day.
Thanks SMF members, and moderators for keeping this place fun, informational, and friendly!
